Sweet Potato Cheese Bake
Creamy sweet potato cheese bake layered with tender slices, rich cream, and melted mozzarella and cheddar, baked until golden and bubbling. A comforting oven dish that is savory, slightly sweet, and perfectly satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a medium baking dish with olive oil.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
- Arrange a layer of sliced sweet potatoes in the baking dish, slightly overlapping.
- Sprinkle a portion of mozzarella and cheddar over the layer, then drizzle a few spoonfuls of the cream mixture on top.
- Repeat layering sweet potatoes, cheeses, and cream mixture until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes until the top is golden and the sweet potatoes are fork tender.
- Let the bake rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Slice sweet potatoes evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Season lightly between layers for balanced flavor.
- Allow the dish to rest before serving so the layers can set.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than pre shredded varieties.
