Celery, Ham And Spinach Gratin

This recipe from Lindsey Bareham was my supper last night and there is enough left for lunch today.

Perhaps the most interesting thing is the topping. I just took two slices of Genius soft brown sliced loaf, took off the crusts and then blitzed them in my Little Chopper with a couple of table-spoonfuls of finely grated parmesan. Simple, efficient and perfect every time! I use the same topping in Cinty’s fish pie.

I said I would have it for lunch today.  This is the cold gratin on my plate.

It was very nice and the crust held-up well after a night in the fridge.

  1. That looks amazing. I’d dig right into that! I love a crunchy brown topping, too.

    • It’s a good topping and as I said simple. I’m going to try a meat pie, where you use a similar topping. It’s so much easier, than peeling potatoes. And of course it’s totally gluten-free.

      I wonder how it would work with Shepherd’s Pie mix, with perhaps a red sauce over the top. You could start with ketchup as the base.
