Notes

For a crispy top, broil the gratin for the last few minutes of baking. Let the gratin rest for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat gently. Consider using gluten-free substitutes for a gluten-free version. Experiment with different cheeses and herbs for varied flavors.
