Gratin is a culinary technique for the preparation of food and has a brown crust. This crust mostly consists of breadcrumbs, grated cheese, egg or butter. Gratin is originated in the French kitchen and is traditionally prepared in a shallow baking dish in which the gratin is baked in the oven or under a grill. Gratin is derived from a combination of the French words 'gratter', which means scraping or grating and 'gratine' which means crust or skin. The most famous gratin is known as 'potato gratin' or 'gratin de pommer de terre'. Slices of cooked potatoes are placed in a buttered baking dish, sprinkled with grated cheese and placed in the oven or under a grill. Nowadays, there are a lot of different gratins, with meat, fish, vegetables, eggplant etc.
