Cheese gratin Ingredients:

2 cups sliced vegetables (such as potatoes, cauliflower, or broccoli)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup grated cheese (such as Gruyère, Cheddar, or Parmesan)
Salt and pepper to taste
Breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Cheese gratin Cooking procedure:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
Cook the sliced vegetables in boiling salted water until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until well combined, cooking for about 1 minute.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens and comes to a simmer.
Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in half of the grated cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange the cooked vegetables in the greased baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the vegetables, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top, and if desired, add a thin layer of breadcrumbs for an extra crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
