Gratin

A gratin is a dish that is typically made with a layer of cooked meat, vegetables, or fish that is covered with a sauce and cheese before being baked. The word gratin is derived from the French word for "crust" or "skin".

Gratins are believed to have originated in France, where they were originally made with bread crumbs and cheese. Over time, the dish evolved and different ingredients were used to create the crust or topping, such as potatoes, bread crumbs, and cheese.

Gratins are typically served as a main course or side dish. They can be made with a variety of ingredients, including potatoes, vegetables, fish, and meats. Gratins can be simple or complex, depending on the ingredients used.
