Frequently Asked Questions About Spinach Gratin
What is Spinach Gratin made of?
Spinach Gratin is usually made with spinach, a creamy or béchamel-style sauce, and cheese browned on top. Some versions include onion, garlic, eggs, or breadcrumbs, so the exact ingredients vary by recipe.
How do you make Spinach Gratin?
To make Spinach Gratin, cook the spinach, drain it well, mix it with a creamy sauce, and transfer it to a baking dish. Add cheese on top and bake until the filling is hot and the surface is golden.
Can you use frozen spinach in Spinach Gratin?
Yes, frozen spinach works well in Spinach Gratin. Thaw it completely and squeeze out as much liquid as possible before adding it to the sauce; excess moisture can make the finished gratin watery.
Why is Spinach Gratin watery?
Spinach Gratin is often watery because the spinach or sauce contains too much liquid. Drain cooked spinach thoroughly, squeeze thawed spinach dry, and avoid adding a thin sauce; spinach releases moisture as it bakes.
What cheese is best for Spinach Gratin?
Gruyère, Parmesan, cheddar, or a blend can all work well on Spinach Gratin. Choose a cheese that melts and browns nicely; a sharper cheese adds more flavor, while a milder one lets the spinach stand out.
Can Spinach Gratin be made ahead?
Yes, you can assemble Spinach Gratin ahead and refrigerate it before baking. Add the cheese topping shortly before it goes into the oven for a fresher browned crust, and allow a chilled dish extra time to heat through.
How do you keep the topping on Spinach Gratin golden and crisp?
For a golden topping on Spinach Gratin, spread the cheese evenly over a surface that is not overly wet. Bake uncovered, and briefly use the broiler at the end if needed, watching closely so the cheese does not burn.
What goes well with Spinach Gratin?
Spinach Gratin pairs well with roast chicken, baked fish, or a crisp green salad. It can also be served as a vegetarian main with crusty bread or potatoes, since its creamy sauce makes it filling.
How long does Spinach Gratin keep in the fridge?
Spinach Gratin keeps in the refrigerator for about three to four days when stored promptly in a covered container. Refrigerate leftovers once they have cooled, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Can you freeze Spinach Gratin?
Yes, Spinach Gratin can be frozen, though the creamy sauce may become less smooth after thawing. Cool it completely, seal it well, and thaw it in the refrigerator; reheat until hot throughout.

What is Spinach Gratin?
Spinach gratin is a baked dish of chopped spinach folded into a creamy sauce, often topped with cheese and cooked until the surface turns golden. “Gratin” refers to the browned topping and baking style associated with French cooking; the spinach underneath stays soft, rich and gently earthy, balanced by the savoury cheese crust.
It works as a side with roast meat or fish, or as a vegetarian main with bread, potatoes or a crisp salad. Although spinach brings fibre and vegetables to the plate, the creamy sauce and cheese make it fairly rich; a 100 g portion has 7.2 g of fat. For a lighter version, use less sauce and cheese and serve it alongside fresh vegetables.
