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'm not sure what went wrong, but my gratin turned out watery. I think I might have used too much milk.

This is a classic dessert that is always a crowd-pleaser. I love the combination of strawberries and crème fraîche.

I made this for a picnic and it was a big hit. It's so easy to transport and it holds up well in the heat.

This was a great way to use up some leftover strawberries. I didn't have any crème fraîche, so I used sour cream instead. It turned out just as well.

I'm so glad you all enjoyed the recipe! I love how versatile it is. You can use any type of berry, and you can even add a little liqueur to the crème fraîche for a boozy twist.

This was a disappointment. The strawberries were bland and the crème fraîche was too tangy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would try using less sugar next time. Otherwise, it was a very easy and quick dessert to make.

I'm not a big fan of strawberries, but I loved this dessert. The crème fraîche really mellows out the tartness of the strawberries and makes them more palatable. I would definitely make this again.

This is my new favorite dessert! It's so light and refreshing, and the strawberry and crème fraîche flavors go together perfectly. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it many more times in the future.

This was a delicious and easy dessert to make. I used fresh strawberries from my garden and they were perfect. The crème fraîche added a nice tangy flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
