This gratin is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and then baked it the next day.

I had high hopes for this gratin, but I was disappointed. The sauce was bland and the topping was too dry.

This gratin was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less cheese next time.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make gratin. I used Gruyère cheese instead of Roquefort, and it was still very tasty.

I love the combination of spinach and leeks in this gratin. The Roquefort crumb topping adds a nice tanginess that really brings the dish together.
