• If you prefer a crispy top, broil the gratin for a few minutes at the end of the baking time.
• Leftover gratin can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the gratin in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
