Remarks
If you don't have Comté cheese, use another type suitable for grating.
The chicken can also be replaced with leftovers of another kind of meat.
It is worth noting that French "purée" is softer and much richer that traditional British "mash", so makes more of a gratin topping than a pie crust.
