Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and hearty bread will make all the difference in your au gratin dish.
Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Leave some space between the ingredients so that they can cook evenly and get a nice golden brown crust.
Bake the au gratin until it is bubbly and golden brown. This usually takes about 25 minutes.
Let the au gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
