Um no.
It means topped with breadcrumbs and browned.
The cheese part is an optional extra.
Yes to the original question
There seem to be as many definitions as dictionaries (which doesn't surprise me with French cooking - its so varied). I've now found two with cheese and two without.
Still yes to OP.
This is from the chef's bible (le Repetoire de la Cuisine)
Gratiner - To pass in an oven or salamander a prepared dish, sprinkled with bread crumbs or cheese in order to give it a golden colour.
I'm french and for me it means with a cheese topping, browned in the oven.I've seen some breadcrumbs-topped french dishes, but more rarely.
For example, pasta would have a cheese topping, and cassoulet can have a breadcrumbs topping.
Do you know the answer?
