Cheesy Vegetable Tian
What is a tian you ask? Glad you did! It's basically the the most impressive easiness to deliciousness ratio ever. A tian is a mix of vegetables that are roasted in a shallow dish (which is where it get's its name) and is usually severed with melted cheese/au gratin. The dish I mentioned is a cooking pot from France, but obviously, that's not what is important here..
So. My mom was pretty unimpressed with this as I was making it, and then was blown away by w how much she loved it. Sounds simple enough... cheese and vegetables, and well, maybe that's the beauty of it.
It's AMAZING. Eat it now.
