Overall, this was a good dish, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would use less cheese and more vegetables, and I would also add some fresh herbs to the sauce.

The gratin was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I especially liked the crispy breadcrumb topping.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated for my liking. There were a lot of steps and ingredients involved, and I didn't think the final product was worth the effort.

I thought this gratin was just okay. The vegetables were a bit bland and the sauce was a little too thick for my taste. I think I would prefer a lighter, more flavorful version.
