FAQ

  • Can I use different vegetables?

    Yes, you can substitute the peas and carrots with other vegetables like corn, broccoli florets, or green beans.
  • Can I use a different type of cheese?

    Yes, but parmesan melts best in this preparation. If using a different cheese make sure it melts well.
  • My gratin is too watery, what did I do wrong?

    This can happen. Add a bit more cheese, and microwave for 30 second intervals to thicken the sauce.
