This sweet pear and cheddar gratin exudes happiness! For those who always struggle deciding between cheese and dessert, we’ve gathered the best of both worlds. Finish a meal in an original way or offer this dish as an amuse-bouche, for example. We used old cheddar, but any other hard cheese with a strong flavor will be fine. Cheeses like Mimolette or Parmesan will work perfectly!
