  • In a new fry pan, add 1 tbsp butter on low heat until melted. Once melted, add soy sauce, Parmesan cheese and slowly add in heavy cream. Continuously mix on low heat. The sauce should thicken after 2-4 minutes. Once the preferred thickness is reached, remove from heat.

  • Place gratin mix inside a ramekin (if you rather do a family style, you can throw it all in an oven glass pan). Drizzle the desired amount of sauce onto the gratin mix. We prefer about 2 tbsp per ramekin. Sprinkle panko on top followed by a generous sprinkle of sharp cheese.

  • Place oven on broil and rearrange rack to be around 6-8" from the heating element (on my oven, it is the 2nd slot from the top). Place the tray in the CENTER of the oven and broil gratin until cheese is melted, which should be around 2-3 minutes.
