Best Answer

Au gratin is a French style of cooking where breadcrumbs and butter are placed on top of a casserole of any type and browned under the broiler to give the top a nice crunch. Cheese in au gratin topping is not a requirement, even if it is delicious. You can make an au gratin dish without cheese simply with breadcrumbs and dots of butter.
