Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.
Brioche tart with Comté cheese : Stage 1
Take 80 g from 350 g Savoury brioche dough.

Roll out the lump into a disk 25 cm (10 inches) in diameter.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 3 min.
Brioche tart with Comté cheese : Stage 2
Place the disk in a cake tin of the same diameter. If it's a little too large, adjust the circumference by pressing the dough down firmly.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.
Brioche tart with Comté cheese : Stage 3
With the small piece of dough, make a long, thin sausage, the length of which will be equal to the perimeter of the mold.

If you find it difficult to roll out, you can cut the dough into 2 pieces and make it into 2 pieces, which is easier.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.
Brioche tart with Comté cheese : Stage 4
Brush a little gold around the edge of the pastry disc, then place the thin sausage around it, pressing it down to adhere to the disc.

This will create a base with a slightly higher edge, which will hold the Comté mixture well afterwards.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 2 min.
Brioche tart with Comté cheese : Stage 5
Re-brown the edge, then cover with a tea towel or plastic sheet and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour.

After this time, prepare the Comté cheese mixture.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 3 min.
Brioche tart with Comté cheese : Stage 6

The Comté cheese mixture


Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).

Pour grated 150 g Comté cheese, 100 g cream and 1 egg into a small bowl.

Season generously with pepper, but leave unsalted, and mix thoroughly.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 2 min.
Brioche tart with Comté cheese : Stage 7
Add 50 ml Jura white wine (from the Savagnin grape if possible) and mix again.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 2 min.
Brioche tart with Comté cheese : Stage 8
Pour the mixture into the mould (at this point you'll see the point of the border you've made).

Stage 9 - ⌛ 20 min.
Brioche tart with Comté cheese : Stage 9
Bake at 180°C (360°F) for approximately 20 minutes.

Check for doneness by stirring the pan a little, the center of the tart should be set, if not, continue baking a little longer.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 2 min.
Brioche tart with Comté cheese : Stage 10
Turn out warm.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 3 min.
Brioche tart with Comté cheese : Stage 11
Carve and enjoy, warm or hot if possible, with a small green salad and vinaigrette, for example.
Remarks
If you don't have a Jura wine, opt for a dry white.

In the original recipe, JF Piège just presses the edges of the pastry disc to create a hollow, and pre-cooks the pastry, but it's easier and more effective with an added edge.

Alternatively, you can roll out the dough to 2 or 3 cm more than the diameter of the mold, and fold the excess dough in on itself, towards the center, all the way around the mold to create a rim as well.

If you have a little too much Comté cheese mixture, set it aside to make delicious croque-monsieur later, by spreading it on slices of bread, before sending them to the oven for 10 minutes.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.

Fondant-iced pithivier
The classic French pithivier is a traditional dessert, rather like the Epiphany galette: puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) filled with almond cream. But there is also an iced cake version called a "pithivier fondant": moist, very simple, and without the puff pastry. Here's how to make it.

Bouquet garni
Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.

Tart tatin is one of the great classic desserts of French cooking. It's an apple tart cooked upside down. Apples are cooked in sugar until they caramelise. Then a circle of puff pastry is put on top, and the whole tart is baked at 356°F (180°C) for 20 minutes. To serve, the tart is turned over so that the apples are on top. Apples with caramel and crispy puff pastry taste amazing. The classic recipe uses shortcrust...
