    Gratin Dish Recipes

    I love Gratins. If you've been following my blog, you know I went a little overboard with posting new gratin recipes. Not that I don't other side dishes, I just love my veggies with a little cheese on top. And preferably crunchy and warm too.

    Another reason why I'm sharing this round-up with you is that gratin recipes have been extremely popular on my website.

    Just like me, my readers love good French vegetable bake.

    What's not to love? It's warm, creamy, flavorful and amazingly comforting.

    How Is Gratin Served?

    Traditionally, Gratin is cooked in a shallow casserole/gratin dish which is where it is also served.

    Gratin is usually made as a side dish however there are ways to make it as a main dish. Several of my vegetarian Gratin recipes (see below) are so filling that all you need is a salad on the side.

    Enjoy my favorite Gratin recipes round up and make sure to include them in your weeknight or holiday menu.
