Ingredients
Scale
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup mascarpone
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 to 2 medium rutabaga (cubed 1/2 inch dice or small wedges (about 4 cups))
1/2 cup uncooked millet

1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup shredded gruyere (divided)
Fresh parsley (for topping)
Fresh chives (for topping)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together milk and mascarpone. Melt butter in Crock-Pot® slow cooker. Add rutabaga, millet, salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder.
Pour in milk and mascarpone mixture along with the vegetable broth. Add 1/2 cup of shredded gruyere. Mix well and cover. Set Crock-Pot® slow cooker to cook on high for 4 hours or low to cook for 6 hours.
With 30 minutes remaining, sprinkle remaining gruyere on top of gratin. Cover and let finish cooking. Serve with fresh chopped parsley and chives.
Notes
Tips & Tricks: Be sure to chop the rutabaga into small cubes so they cook through. Larger pieces will result in still crunchy rutabaga when the millet has absorbed all the liquid.
