This gratin is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I made this gratin ahead of time and it reheated beautifully. It was just as good the second day as it was the first.

This gratin is a great way to use up leftover winter squash. I had some roasted butternut squash in the fridge and it worked perfectly.

I made this gratin in individual ramekins and it was perfect for a special occasion. It was also a great way to control the portion sizes.

I used a mixture of sharp cheddar and Gruyère cheeses in the sauce and it was amazing! It gave the gratin a really rich and complex flavor.

I didn't have any panko breadcrumbs, so I used regular breadcrumbs instead. The gratin still turned out great!

The gratin was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the sauce.

I found that the gratin was a bit dry. I would recommend adding more жидкость, such as milk or cream, to the sauce.

This gratin was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the sauce.

This was my first time making winter squash gratin and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. The squash was tender and flavorful, the sauce was creamy and cheesy, and the topping was crispy and golden brown.

I've made this gratin several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and the results are always delicious. I love that I can use any type of winter squash, so it's a great way to use up whatever I have on hand.
