Method

Place the dish in a roasting tray filled two-thirds high with warm water.

Whisk eggs, milk, crème fraîche, and Parmesan together, then pour over the dish.

Repeat the layers with the remaining bread, vegetables, and Gruyère.

Bake for 35 minutes until the gratin is puffy and golden.

Preheat your oven to 180°C.

Layer half the bread in a greased dish, followed by half the onion-mushroom mixture and half the Gruyère.

Butter the bread slices and cut them into triangles.

Fry sliced onions in oil until golden, then sauté mushrooms until softened and colored.
