Comtois surprise bread
In this recipe, a simple burger bun is hollowed out to hide a filling of fried potatoes and bacon in a pool of hot cancoillotte cheese.
It is usual to eat the filling first, then the bread, still piping hot, with the remaining cheese.
Children really love this!

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Leave to wait in the pan.
Stage 5 - 2 min.
Slice the tops off 4 hamburgers buns and use a fork to scoop out the interior crumb, which we will not be using this in this recipe.
Stage 6 - 7 min.
Sit the buns and their "lids" on a baking sheet. Pop in the oven for 5 minutes, just to lightly colour the insides.
Stage 7 - 5 min.
Meanwhile, pour 150 g cancoillotte into a small saucepan on low heat and heat through gently.
Stage 8 - 4 min.
Put a bun on each plate and fill with the potato and bacon mixture.
Stage 9 - 4 min.
Fill up with the hot cancoillotte.
Stage 10
Serve without delay, either as "surprise" bread with the lid on, or with the lid off at a jaunty angle, like in the photo.
Remarks
The inside of the burger buns removed in Step 5 isn't used in the recipe, but you can use it up in other ways, such as home-made breadcrumb coating.
For a more golden-brown finish to the buns, use a brush to coat the insides with clarified butter before they go in the oven.
Want to go the full Comtois? Use fried diced Morteau sausage instead of the bacon.
