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.

  • 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
