Cheesy Kohlrabi Recipes

ROASTED KOHLRABI

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cut the kohlrabi into 1/4 inch thick slices, then cut each of the slices in half. Combine olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Toss kohlrabi slices in the olive oil mixture to coat. Spread kohlrabi in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally in order to brown evenly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven to allow the Parmesan cheese to brown, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

KOHLRABI AU GRATIN

Steps:

• Peel the Kohlrabi.
• Slice horizontally in 1/4 inch slices.
• Boil these slices in salted water until fork tender, about 20 minutes.
• Drain well and lightly dry off with a cloth or paper towel to remove excess water. A little water remaining is ok.
• Butter a small casserole dish on the bottom and sides with one tablespoon butter.
• Place a layer of sliced Kohlrabi as the first layer, cutting into pieces if necessary to fit.
• Sprinkle a layer of your choice of cheese.
• Repeat layers until casserole dish is full.
• Pour heavy cream over the top of it, allowing it to seep down into the cracks.
• Sprinkle breadcrumbs over top.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle just enough over the breadcrumbs to lightly moisten.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• If using Gruyere or swiss cheese, sprinkle a very small amount of nutmeg over crumbs.
• Place in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and breadcrumbs are golden brown.
• Let stand a bit before serving to allow cheeses on the interior to firm up a bit.
