Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Spread 900 ml Shortcrust pastry (pâte brisée) and line a tart tin, here 24 cm (9.5 inches) in diameter.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Thinly slice 900 ml cheese and spread over the dough.

I've used leftover feta and mozzarella, but you can use any cheese you like.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

Sprinkle with a little thyme.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Peel and slice 900 ml cooked potatoes.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Spread over the cheese, season with pepper and salt.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Add 450 ml cream and a little thyme.

Stage 7 - 30 min.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, checking for color at the end.

Remarks

Preferably use soft cheeses such as goat cheese and Morbier, which will melt better when cooked.

Thyme goes very well with the cheeses I've used, feta and mozzarella, but if you're unsure about your cheese(s), leave it out.

Keeping

Several days in the fridge, protected by cling film.

How to prevent butter burning during cooking

Butter, which is excellent for fixing flavours in a recipe, burns if the temperature is too high. It darkens and produces unpleasant small black specks (by the way, note that the famous recipe "raie au beurre noir", ray in black butter, is a kind of sacrilege!).
