Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of crushed cornflakes with 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, stirring until the cornflakes are evenly coated. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- Using a large sauté pan, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Add 1 cup of sliced green onions and sauté gently for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, along with salt and pepper to taste, over the softened onions. Gradually pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and ½ cup of half-and-half, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.
- Remove the sauce from heat and stir in 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, mixing until it melts completely. Fold in 3 cups of cooked and drained crinkle-cut carrots along with 2 tablespoons of parsley flakes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Pour the carrot and cheese mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle over the reserved cornflake topping.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, then carefully remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until the top is golden brown and crisp.
