Preparation
STEP 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.

STEP 2

Combine cream, milk, bay leaf and thyme in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add nutmeg and vegetables. Season well with salt and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes.

STEP 3

Carefully transfer half of the vegetables and cream to a buttered 3-quart baking dish (remove bay leaf and thyme sprig). Reserve 1/2 cup crispy onions and spread remaining onions over casserole. Top with remaining vegetables and cream.

STEP 4

Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes. After about 15 minutes, gently press vegetables into cream with a spatula or spoon.

STEP 5

Meanwhile, tear bread into chunks and process in a food processor into crumbs. Add 1/2 cup crispy onions and pulse a few times. Add Parmesan and melted butter and pulse a few times more to combine.

STEP 6

After 30 minutes, remove casserole from oven and top with bread crumb mixture. Return to oven and bake about 10-15 minutes, or until browned and bubbling. Remove from oven and let sit at least 15 minutes before serving.
