Tips:
- To enhance the flavor of your celery root gratin, roast the celery root before baking it. This will caramelize the natural sugars and add a delicious depth of flavor.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half-and-half. However, the gratin will be less rich and creamy.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to your gratin, such as potatoes, carrots, or parsnips.
- To make a vegetarian gratin, omit the bacon or pancetta.
- Serve the gratin immediately after baking, while it is still hot and bubbly.
