Stinking Bishop Gratin

How to make it

Cheese gratin is already dreamy, so paired with gorgeously creamy and sweet Stinking Bishop takes this Gratin to a whole new level. Stinking Bishop Gratin is great with loads of dishes, but particularly good with lamb.

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4
• Peel the potatoes then finely slice them as evenly as possible
• Rinse the potato slices with cold water
• Spread the slices out on a clean tea towel and pat dry
• Lightly season with salt and pepper
• In a large saucepan, bring the milk and cream to the boil, then simmer
• Add the potato slices and stir gently
• Rub butter around a shallow ovenproof dish
• Rub the garlic clove around the dish
• Transfer 1/3 of the potatoes into the prepared dish and spread out evenly.
• Top with a half of the sliced Stinking Bishop
• Repeat with another layer of potatoes, and another layer of cheese
• Finish with a potato layer
• Pour over the remaining milk from the saucepan
• Bake for 1 & 1⁄4 hours
• Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes before serving
