10 savory pear recipes to warm you up this winter

Including pears in your diet in winter, you just had to think about it. Let’s put aside tasting the pear as it is and integrate it into delicious gourmet recipes.

Between the pear and the cheese, we find the plate

In cooking, the combination of pear and cheese is savory what pear and chocolate are sweet. Let’s cook the pear differently from the traditional belle-Hélène pear, with cheese. If you like morello cherry jam on a nice slice of tomme or fig on Cantal, we assure you, the pear and the delicious cheese. The sweetness of the fruit allows for an explosion of flavors in the mouth, which perfectly enhances the sweetness of the cheese, giving it liveliness and deliciousness. We place grilled pear on a Mont-d’Or toast, we stuff half a pear with Fourme d’Ambert or we cut this delicious fruit into thin strips to give it the appearance of mille-feuille. All covered with a Munster AOP cream. Of course, cooking pears can also be done with other pairings, in a winter fruit soup, a duck confit pastilla or a pear soufflé like Mimi Thorisson does for example.
