Servings: persons

8 fresh artichokes
One 14-ounce can cannellini beans
1 leek, split and thinly sliced crosswise, washed and drained
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus additional if needed
1/2 cup creme fraiche
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 lemons, zested
Fleur de sel, for sprinkling

1
Bring a small amount of water to a simmer in a pot and set a steamer basket over it.
2
Using a sharp paring knife, peel the stems on the artichokes and remove the tougher outer leaves; remove the inner leaves by hand, then cut away the center chokes.
3
Place the artichokes in the steamer basket, cover and cook until tender when pierced, about 30 minutes, adding hot water if needed during cooking.
4
Roughly chop the artichokes into 1/2-inch pieces and combine them with the cannellini beans and leeks in a large bowl.
5
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Parmigiano-Reggiano, heavy cream and creme fraiche.
7
Pour into the artichoke mixture and toss well.
8
The mixture should be creamy and smooth; if too thick, add more cream to thin.
9
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
10
Pour the mixture into an 8-inch casserole dish.
11
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, thyme leaves and lemon zest; sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
12
Bake the gratin until the mixture is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
13
Finish with a sprinkle of fleur de sel.
