For those who think chayote doesn't have much flavor, this Chayote Gratin with Bacon recipe will make it one of their favorite vegetables.

This chayote recipe is generous because you make several layers of vegetables, ham, cheese, and sprinkle with bacon for a crunchier touch. A great tip for this easy recipe is to blanch the chayote slices to make the cooking of the lasagna faster.

Preheat the oven to 200°C Heat the water in a pot until it boils and cook the chayote with a bit of salt until slightly softened. Drain and set aside. In an oven-safe dish, place a layer of chayote, cover with a bit of cream, add lemon pepper seasoning, sprinkle with fried bacon, arrange the slices of ham, mozzarella cheese, and Manchego cheese. Repeat the process until the mold is filled and you have several layers. Finish with cheese and sliced bacon on top. Bake for 15 minutes or until the chayote is tender and the cheese has melted. Serve hot and enjoy.
