I added some chopped bacon to the gratin and it was amazing! I would definitely recommend trying this variation.

I didn't have any Gruyère cheese, so I used cheddar cheese instead. The gratin still turned out delicious.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gratin turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overcooked it.

The gratin was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I would cook it for a little longer next time.

This gratin was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I will try using less cheese next time.
