We discuss on the pairing mechanism of fermions with mismatch in their Fermi momenta due to a mass asymmetry. Using a variational ansatz for the ground state we also discuss the BCS-BEC crossover of this system. It is shown that the breached pairing solution with a single Fermi surface is stable in the BEC regime. We also include the temperatures effect on the fermion pairing within an approximation that is valid for temperatures much below the critical temperature.
