A daily meal that will delight even the pickiest eaters.

Peel and finely chop the garlic. Prepare a large deep baking dish and grease it well with butter. Sprinkle the garlic over the dish. Peel the potatoes and scrape the carrots. Wash the vegetables and slice them into thin rounds. Place a large pot with about 2.5 liters of water on the stove. Wait for the water to boil, then add 1.5 teaspoons of salt and the potato and carrot slices. Wait for the water to boil again, then cook for another 2 minutes and thoroughly drain the vegetables.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Layer the vegetable slices in the baking dish (a layer of potatoes, carrots, and then another layer of potatoes) and season each layer to taste with pepper and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, mix the cooking cream and milk, then pour it over the vegetable slices. Grate the cheese and sprinkle it over the top layer, then cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After twenty minutes, remove the foil and bake the vegetables for another 15 minutes. Meanwhile, wash the basil leaves, which will be used for decoration.
When the gratin vegetables are ready, cut them into smaller pieces, serve them on plates, and garnish with basil leaves. Offer the prepared dish to your guests.
