Au gratin is a culinary style of topping a dish with a cream sauce or creamy cheese sauce and herbed bread crumbs. Au gratin does not necessarily mix the sauce all the way through a dish but most often it will mix that way, often by design.For au gratin potatoes (pommes de terre au gratin) Slice and layer potatoes into a casserole with a few pats of butter interspersed, make a thin bechamel sauce and melt a cheese such as Cantal or something similar into the bechamel. Pour the sauce over the potatoes, sprinkle with herbed breadcrumbs or croutons. Bake in a medium oven for 45 minutes until the potatoes are softened.Bechamel is made by melting a half cup of butter and sauteeing about 1/2 onion finely diced. when the onions are translucent add 1/4 cup flour and blend it until smooth then add 1 to 1 1/2 cup milk or cream and a pinch of nutmeg, stir until thickened. To thin it add milk, to thicken it add less milk or simmer it longer without burning it.Melting cheese into this will make a cheese sauce. thinning this and adding various ingredients will make various cream sauces or soups.

Can you substitute milk for half and half?
It really depends on the recipe and the needed consistency. In most cases, half&half or even whole milk can be substituted for light cream to make a recipe healthier. If the recipe calls for heavy cream, it's really a judgment call. You might try a halved recipe with half&half to test before making a full batch. Substituting half&half or milk in a recipe calling for sweet (whipping) cream is generally NOT recommended.
