Steps:
- Preheat the oven, prepare the baking dish Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Layer the vegetables Grease a large (2 quart) gratin dish or a 9-x-13-inch glass baking dish with butter. Layer half of the parsnips in the gratin dish, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. Top with half of the carrots, and season with another pinch of salt and grind of black pepper. Scatter half of the fennel mixture on top of the carrots. Repeat with the rest of the parsnips and carrots, finishing with the remaining fennel mixture. Set aside.
- Begin the béchamel You'll need two sauce pans, one small and one medium. In a small sauce pan set over medium-low heat, add the milk and cream. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, add the butter. When the butter foams, whisk the flour into the melted butter, and cook until nutty smelling and light golden in color, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the cheese Remove the béchamel from the heat and whisk in the blue cheese a few crumbles at a time. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and a pinch of cayenne, if you want a little heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if desired.
- Cover and bake Snugly cover the gratin with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the gratin is golden brown and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife.
- Serve Let rest 20 minutes before serving.

VEGETABLE SAUTE WITH BLUE CHEESE
This is one of those recipes that was born of the need to use up a bit of this and a bit of that, but suprisingly, it was a great combination! The measurements are flexible, so feel free to adjust as you wish. If you don't have shallot in your fridge, use red onion.
