Tips:

  • For a sweeter gratin, use a sweeter orange variety, such as a Valencia or navel orange.
  • If you don't have any fresh thyme, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme.
  • If you don't have any Grand Marnier, you can use another orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau or Triple Sec.
  • Be sure to grate the zest of the oranges finely, as this will help to release the oils and flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this will make the gratin tough.
  • Bake the gratin until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  • Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving, as this will help it to set.

Conclusion:
