Cheddar Pear Pie Recipe

Cheddar Pear Pie

Unexpected and drool worthy

This cheddar pear pie is straight from a farmhouse kitchen. Ripe, juicy pears meet sharp farmhouse cheddar. It’s sweet, savory, and a little unexpected. Simple ingredients, honest flavors, and a pie that tastes like home. You can tuck it into a classic crust, or build it more like a crumble the way I have here—whichever brings you joy.
