(French) Oven Pans

I actually don't know if this is the correct term for the small oven pans with lit I used today. In Dutch I just call it 'ovenpannetjes' or 'stoofpannetjes'. After a search on google I found the terms french oven and oven pans. But, in short, today I had 3 absolutely delicious dishes from the oven. Mushrooms grated with cheese, mussels grated with cheese, and an Italian fish stew. It took me 15 minutes to prep and the time in the oven is a bit different, just see below. For each dish the oven needs to be preheated to 175-180 degrees of Celsius.

I served it with a couple of slices of bread and homemade herb butter.
