Preparing Savoyard Crozets Gratin with Cheese
Making this gratin is straightforward and rewarding! You’ll first cook the crozets until they’re al dente and then combine them with the cheese and cream mixture. It’s all about that gooey cheese, and trust me, it gets even better once baked to perfection!
What you’ll need
To create this delectable dish, be sure to gather the following ingredients:
- 800 grams Crozets de Savoie (you can choose plain or buckwheat for added flavor)
- 600 grams grated Beaufort cheese (a staple in Savoyard recipes)
- 700 grams whole crème fraîche
- 400 grams whole milk (for that creamy consistency)
You can consider using other semi-hard cheeses if Beaufort isn’t available. Gruyère or Comté are excellent substitutes that still honor the dish’s essence.
