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.

- 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
