What Is The Gratin Technique?
The gratin technique is a culinary method where a dish is baked or broiled until it has a browned and crusty top layer. It typically involves adding breadcrumbs, cheese, or a creamy sauce to the top of a dish before cooking it in the oven. This technique is commonly used with dishes such as scalloped potatoes, casseroles, and macaroni and cheese. The result is a delicious and visually appealing dish with a crispy top layer.
