Enhance Flavors:
- Add a touch of grated Parmesan or Gruyère cheese for a richer, nutty flavor.
- Stir in a tablespoon of Dijon mustard for a tangy kick.
- Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for a warm, aromatic touch.
Add Texture:
- Top the gratin with a sprinkling of bread crumbs or panko for a crispy crunch.
- Add a layer of thinly sliced sautéed mushrooms or onions for a savory umami component.
- Roast a few tomatoes and scatter them on top for a burst of sweetness and juiciness.
Enhance the Kale:
- Use a combination of kale varieties, such as Lacinato and curly, for a nuanced flavor profile.
- Massage the kale with a bit of salt before cooking to soften it and enhance its bitterness.
- Sauté the kale in olive oil with garlic and red pepper flakes for added depth and spice.
Enrich the Sauce:
- Use a combination of heavy cream and milk instead of just milk for a thicker, creamier sauce.
- Add a bit of white wine or vegetable broth for a savory, umami flavor.
- Stir in a tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken the sauce and prevent it from becoming watery.
Additional Tips:
- Don’t overcook the kale, as it will become mushy. Cook it just until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Serve the gratin with a crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for a finishing touch.
