vegetable gratin

Oven-browned veggie dish

A vegetable gratin is a baked dish of vegetables topped with a browned crust, typically made from breadcrumbs, cheese, or both.

The vegetables are often layered or arranged in a shallow dish, then baked until tender underneath and crispy on top: She made a potato gratin for the dinner party.
