“Au gratin” is a term that, in America, is usually associated with cheese. But the term may refer to any topping of fine fresh or dry bread crumbs or even crushed cornflakes, cracker crumbs, or finely ground nuts on casseroles (see About Casseroles), creamed dishes, stuffed vegetables, or any dish where a browned, crispy upper crust is desired.
