For an even richer flavor, consider browning the butter before adding the cheeses. This adds a nutty depth to the sauce. The quality of the pear is crucial. Choose a ripe but firm pear for the best texture and sweetness. Anjou or Bartlett pears work particularly well. If you don't have walnuts on hand, pecans or toasted almonds make excellent substitutes. A squeeze of lemon juice over the pear helps to prevent browning and adds a touch of acidity that complements the richness of the cheese.
