Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar such as Sugar in the Raw
1 cup crème fraîche
4 cups (from about 2 pounds) strawberries, hulled and halved lengthwise
4 tablespoons wildflower or regular honey
Special Equipment
8 (6-inch) ovenproof dessert plates

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • In 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, melt butter. Add panko and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add cinnamon, pepper, and sugar, and toss to combine. Transfer to medium bowl and set aside.
  • Spoon 2 tablespoons crème fraîche onto center of each ovenproof plate. Arrange 1/2 cup strawberries on top of each circle of crème fraîche. Drizzle each plate with 1 1/2 teaspoons honey and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon panko mixture. Working in batches, place plates on large rimmed baking sheet and broil until the crème fraîche starts to bubble and turn light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Keep warm while broiling other batches and serve immediately.

I found the crème fraîche to be a bit too rich.

I'm not usually a big fan of crème fraîche, but it worked really well in this gratin. It added a nice richness and creaminess to the dish without being too heavy.

This gratin was super easy to make and it turned out beautifully. I used a variety of berries, including strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, and it was a great way to use up some of my summer berries.

This strawberry and crème fraîche gratin was absolutely delicious! The combination of sweet strawberries, tangy crème fraîche, and crispy bread crumbs was perfect. I also loved the addition of the lemon zest, which added a nice brightness to the dish
