I split the recipe between two smaller pie plates, so that I had one to share with my mom. It is a truly delicious recipe; the perfect combination of sweet and salty!
Sweet Sarah, I love pear pie, but have never added shredded cheese to it. Now I am intrigued {{smiles}} I will have to try this recipe since my husband enjoys pear pie and cheese.

ReplyDeleteI used sharp cheddar vs mild cheddar because its what I had on hand was so good. Will try again with regular cheddar just like yours. Thank you for these wonderful easy recipes. God Bless~
ReplyDeleteMy mom made this pie and I had forgotten about it. It tasted exactly like I remembered! Delicious❤️
