Greek Broccoli Gratin

This Greek Broccoli Gratin is a lighter take on a traditional cheesy broccoli casserole. It uses tangy feta cheese and a mixture of mayonnaise and yogurt in place of a traditional cheese sauce saves tons of time, making this a quick and easy side dish to pair with chicken or fish. Or, serve as a vegetarian main with a salad.

Spinach Artichoke Ravioli Casserole

This Spinach Artichoke Ravioli bake is easy, cheesy rich and creamy. It was a real crowd-pleaser. I made it a few hours ahead of time and then put it in the oven. It uses frozen ravioli, Alfredo sauce and pesto.

Tomato, Basil Pesto & Three Cheese Strata

This Tomato, Basil Pesto & Three Cheese Strata recipe is from Julienne’s in San Marino. It is extremely rich and decadent, but worth the calories. I've actually lowered the fat by using half and half instead of cream and 2% milk and made the recipe simpler. The beauty of this recipe is that it can be made a day ahead and sit in the refrigerator overnight.

Homemade Green Bean Casserole with Crispy Leeks

You might have a go-to green bean casserole recipe, but you have to try this Homemade Green Bean Casserole with Crispy Leeks. The thin, crispy fried leeks are an absolutely delicious topper and look way more elegant than the canned fried onions. They fry up very quickly; keep a close watch on them as they cook.

Brussels Sprout and Gruyère Gratin

This Brussels Sprout and Gruyère Gratin makes an incredible side dish for your holiday table. I actually cut the recipe in half just to test it, but do not cut the cheese sauce in half! That is the chef's prerogative!

French Onion Gnocchi Casserole

I came across this French Onion Gnocchi Casserole and was intrigued. It was really delicious, though it would have helped if it were really cold outside (not a remote possibility in Los Angeles at the moment!) and you were REALLY hungry. It's not exactly a "light" meal, but if you're looking for comfort food, this is it!

Hasselback Russet Potato Gratin

Hasselback potatoes are a recipe developed at one of Stockholm's popular old Restaurant Hasselbacken. You normally make thin slices in the potatoes but not all the way through. This recipe for Hasselback Russet Potato Gratin uses potatoes that you slice all the way through. They're made with whole grain mustard, heavy cream, dill seed, cheddar cheese and topped with fresh dill. YUM!

You can play around with the way you place the potatoes in this gratin: back and forth in rows, concentric circles, or randomly. Any way you choose will result in the same crunchy, cheesy top.
