- Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the assembled gratin.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

Tips:
- Use a mandoline to slice the potatoes evenly for a consistent texture and cooking time.
- Blanch the cauliflower briefly before adding it to the dish to ensure it cooks through completely in the oven.
- Mix the heavy whipping cream with the mustard well before pouring it over the vegetables to ensure even distribution.
- Cover the dish with foil for the first half of the baking time to prevent the cheese from burning.
- Let the gratin rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld and the dish to set.
