Easy Gratin Cups Made In A Toaster Oven (for lunchboxes)
Ready-to-bake frozen gratin cups are available, but I can't be buying them all the time, so this is what I make whenever I put a gratin cup in a bento. They can be made very easily so they're great for busy mornings.
Don't let the milk overflow the baking cup. If the gratin is loose, add some cheese. You can use any ingredients you like - frozen mixed seafood, bacon, green beans, etc. - whatever you have in the refrigerator. If the gratin cups are too packed the top part becomes hard, so I recommend just having enough that they're floating in the milk. For 2 cupcake-sized aluminium cups' worth. Recipe by Arikan

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Boil the macaroni following package instructions.
- 2
Drain the macaroni, and mix it with the cut up fish sausage, cake flour and soup stock granules. Add a little salt and pepper to taste.
- 3
Put the mixed ingredients in aluminium cups, top with a 1/2 teaspoon each of butter, and put in 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons each of milk.
- 4
Top with cheese, and bake in a toaster oven for about 10 minutes. When the milk is bubbling they are done.
- 5
If you don't want the cheese to get burned, put it on halfway through the cooking process, or add it lastly and let it melt with residual heat.
- 6
If you think it's too loose and liquid after cooking, add more cheese and it will be fine. Bake the cups on a baking sheet since they boil over sometimes.
- 7
I used No. 8-sized aluminium cups this time.
- 8
This version is made with peeled shrimp and green beans, although they're a bit hard to see.
- 9
I used frozen seafood mix only in this version. It's on the bottom of the left side box.
- 10
This is an imitation of a certain brand of frozen gratin cups. I still can't get the same soft texture though.

Gratin Made in a Frying Pan Gratin Made in a Frying Pan
It's a lot of trouble to make white sauce for gratin dishes! But if you make it in a frying pan along with the other ingredients, it's easy ♪- Basic bechamel (white) sauce is made with flour, butter and milk in a 1:1:10 ratio. Change the amount of milk depending on what you're making.- If using a non-stick pan, the gratin won't burn and will come off the pan easily with a rubber spatula. I really recommend using one!- Adding milk before the mixture starts boiling will cause lumps. Recipe by Hatawakana -

In One Pot Simple Macaroni Gratin In One Pot Simple Macaroni Gratin
A long time ago I used a premix gratin powder where you didn't have to boil the macaroni separately. Lately there are more quick-boil macaroni varieties available, so I made this thinking that it wasn't necessary to boil the macaroni.Quick-boil macaroni can be used as-is without having to boil it separately. However, the macaroni will soften and won't have a bite, so if you want to enjoy that then use gratin macaroni, boiled separately. If adding spinach or broccoli, either boil or microwave, then add in Step 4. Recipe by mielle -
