Remarks
If you don't have Maroilles cheese, you can use other ones instead. I advise you to go for a rather soft strong cheese like Reblochon, Munster, Morbier, etc.

You can also replace puff pastry by shortcrust.
And to drink?
A good beer, possibly from the northen France, a jenlain for example.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, folded in a plastic film.

How to glaze a tart
Professional pastrycooks usually say that "a beautiful cake is already half sold", it is one of the reasons why they do not put a tart on sale without glazing it ("abricoter" in Fench), i.e. coating it with a thick apricot syrup. This glaze gives a glossy finish to the tart (see the photographs...

  • Thank you so much for this recipe. I made it to celebrate the Paris-Roubaix bike race with the substitute of Munster cheese. Served with green salad as you suggested. We enjoyed it (and the race) very much. I will be looking for more great recipes to cook my way through the Tour de France! Karen from Tennessee, USA
