As anyone who enjoys cooking will know, gratin is a culinary technique that involves topping a dish with a browned crust that's usually made up of breadcrumbs, grated cheese, egg, or butter. Pizza Hut Japan's new Gratin Hut Melts lean into this cheesy technique by pairing a crispy crust with two different types of [creamy melted cheese filling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-menu-items). The Warm Shrimp Gratin Hut Melt is stuffed with a mixture of shrimp, penne pasta in white sauce, mayo sauce, and Gouda cheese, while the Gooey Camembert Gratin Hut Melt combines Camembert cheese with penne pasta in white sauce, black pepper, and Gouda cheese. The two new Gratin Hut Melts are available now through March 11, 2024.
