Cheesy Pumpkin Gratin
Cheesy Pumpkin Gratin blends smooth pumpkin puree with eggs, heavy cream, and warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Topped with a golden crust of panko breadcrumbs and melted Gruyère cheese, this gratin offers a creamy texture beneath a crisp, cheesy topping. It is baked until almost set, then broiled briefly to achieve a crunchy finish. This dish pairs well as a comforting side during autumn and winter meals.
