I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my gratin turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come together. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this dish.

This gratin was a disaster! The potatoes were undercooked, the cheese was rubbery, and the ham was dry. I don't know what went wrong, but I will not be making this recipe again.

I'm not a big fan of gratins, but this one was pretty good. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and bubbly. I would definitely make this again if I was in the mood for a gratin.

This gratin was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less ham next time. Otherwise, it was a good dish.

This gratin was easy to make and very delicious. I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they turned out perfectly. The ham and eggs added a nice touch of flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This was my first time making a gratin and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. The gratin was cooked through evenly and the cheese was melted and bubbly. I will definitely be making this again.
