Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
Take 80 g from 4 ½ cups Savoury brioche dough.
Roll out the lump into a disk 25 cm (10 inches) in diameter.
Roll out the lump into a disk 25 cm (10 inches) in diameter.
Stage 2 - 3 min.
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.
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.
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.

The Comté cheese mixture
Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).

Stage 7 - 2 min.
Add 2⁄3 cup Jura white wine (from the Savagnin grape if possible) and mix again.
Stage 8 - 2 min.
Pour the mixture into the mould (at this point you'll see the point of the border you've made).
Stage 9 - 20 min.
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 11 - 3 min.
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.
