I fell in love with this dish while over in France. Can anyone recommend a good cream substitute though? I get heart burn from heavy cream but don't want to ruin the thicker consistancy of this dish.

Yum! Seems like a slight variation on a basic gratin.

Not sure what to tell you about a cream substitute. I've made gratins with whole milk or half & half, it works but it's just not the same.

There is no such thing as a heavy cream substitute. :D

I think you might be able to get away with light cream or half & half, but it's going to change the consistency of the dish.

Coconut cream is what I use if I need cream for a recipe and don't have any handy. Nicer flavour too!

Sounds quite nice.... Might have to give that a go. :D
