Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium Gala apple, cored and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
6 ounces mild Italian turkey sausage, casings removed (about 2 links)
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for serving
8 ounces day-old whole-grain bread, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
½ cup shredded Gruyère cheese
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place sweet potatoes and water in a microwaveable bowl. Cover tightly and microwave on High until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and let cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add apple, sausage and onion; cook, stirring often, until the sausage browns and the apple softens, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool in the pan, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine the cooled sweet potatoes and the sausage mixture in a large bowl; add bread and Gruyère and toss gently. Whisk eggs, milk, mustard and pepper together in a medium bowl. Pour over the bread mixture and toss gently. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Bake until the custard is mostly set, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the topping is golden brown and the custard is set, about 20 more minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts sliced lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large sweet potato (about 1 pound), peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 large or 2 medium red skinned apples, such as Gala or Honeycrisp (about 12 ounces), halved, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the thyme and then the cream and cook until the liquid thickens, about 2 minutes; set aside.
  • In a 2-quart shallow baking dish, arrange the sweet potato in overlapping layers. Spread the leek mixture evenly over the potatoes. Arrange the apples in an overlapping layer on the leeks. Brush the apples with the remaining tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake 40 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the Parmesan is golden brown and melted, about 20 minutes more. The tip of a paring knife should easily pierce the apples and potatoes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
