Gratin of Broccoli in Bechamel image

Go ahead and splurge on this savory gratin for a festive occasion. It is well worth it. This dish was the first time I experienced the wonderful flavor of Gruyere cheese & it really adds a delicious layer of flavor. Now, I normally wouldn't spend that much money on a cheese but I am glad I did. I made this for a holiday dinner...
