I like to blanch them till barely done, cut into halves, layer together
closely in a shallow gratin pan, season with salt, pepper, and a touch of
nutmeg, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and finally dot liberally
with butter. Bake at 375-400 degrees in upper part of oven till a light
brown crust forms, about 15-20 minutes.
