Cabillaud gratiné à la créme (Cod Gratin)

Adapted from the cookbook "Mille et une recettes maison", where they ostentatiously claim that there are a 1,001 ways to prepare cod. They only go on to list 4, but they are French so I’m convinced.

Ingredients

  • Cod 4 pieces, 5 oz. (150 g) apiece
  • Butter 3-½ Tbsp (50 g)
  • Onions 2
  • Garlic 1 clove
  • Eggs 2
  • Cream 7 oz. (20 cl)
  • Nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper
  • Gouda optional, 3 oz. (80 g)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).
  • Rinse and dry the cod filets. Finely chop the onions and the garlic.
  • Heat half the butter in a frying pan. Cook the cod filets for 2 minutes on each side.
  • Remove filets and place in a casserole dish. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle the chopped onion and garlic over the seasoned filets.
  • Beat the eggs together with the cream.
  • Pour over the fish.
  • If you’d like, you can now sprinkle the Gouda cheese on top. The cookbook notes that it is important to use a cheese (like Gouda) that does not negate the flavor of the fish and is not stringy.
  • Bake 20 minutes.
