Beat the eggs with salt (and possibly pepper) until they are slightly foamy. This will give the gratin an airy and creamy consistency.
6️⃣ Combine everything:
Pour the egg mixture over the potato and cheese mixture and stir gently so that everything is evenly coated.
7️⃣ Pour into the pan:
Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish. If you like, you can add sliced carrots to the bottom or on top for extra color and sweetness.
8️⃣ Bake:
Bake in the middle of the oven for about 40 minutes. The gratin should be firm and golden brown on top. Test with a skewer – it should come out clean when the gratin is done.
9️⃣ Rest before serving:
Let the gratin rest for a few minutes before cutting it. This will help the slices hold their shape better and the flavors settle.
💡 Tips and variations:
Extra creaminess: Mix ½ dl cream or crème fraîche into the egg mixture for an even smoother texture.
Vegetables: Add bell peppers, zucchini or spinach for color and variety.
Cheese variations: Replace cheddar with mozzarella, gouda or parmesan for different flavors.
Seasoning: For a little more zing, add garlic powder or chili flakes.
Serving suggestion: Perfect with a fresh salad, lingonberry jam or butter-fried mushrooms on the side.
