Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

Put into a food-processor bowl: 500 g flour, 1 egg, 50 g olive oil, 20 g yeast, 10 g salt, 100 g Soured dough and 270 ml water.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 10 min.

Start on slow speed and knead for 10 minutes.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 hour 30 min.

After this time, turn the dough out onto a floured worktop, roll into a ball and put into a bowl.

Cover with a sheet of plastic and leave to rest for 1 hour 30 minutes.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 10 min.

After this time, divide the dough into 160 g pieces.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 30 min.

Roll each piece into a ball, cover them all with a sheet of plastic and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 10 min.

Roll out each ball with a rolling pin into a circle the same size as your tart case or mould (approx. 26 cm or 10 inches approx).

Stage 7 - ⌛ 5 min.

Place the circle of dough into the case.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 2 hours

Do this with all the cases, then cover with plastic sheets and leave to rest for 2 hours.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

Mix 270 g cream, 270 g grated cheese and 60 ml dry white wine in a bowl then pepper generously.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 5 min.

Spread a layer of filling in each case. You should allow about 130 g per tart.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 20 min.

Bake for around 20 to 25 minutes, watching for colouration. It is important not to overcook the tarts, otherwise they will dry out.

Remarks

Disposable aluminium cases are practical for this recipe as they allow for easy cooking and freezing.

You may well have some dough left over. If so, weigh out 100 g portions, wrap in plastic film and freeze to use as soured dough later.

Keeping: A few hours once cooked, otherwise several weeks in the freezer.

Dried apricots

Making your own dried apricots at home is perfectly feasible. It's really quite simple, though it takes a long time. Basically, the apricots need to be cut in half, destoned, then the halves put to dry slowly for several hours in a cool oven.

Framboisier

This is a classic French raspberry-flavoured dessert. It generally consists of raspberries in cream sandwiched between two layers of cake. In this version, the cake is genoa sponge and the cream is vanilla-flavoured and mixed with mascarpone. This is just as good made as a large rectangle or, as here, in smaller round individual servings.

Eggs Arsène

Eggs Arsène is a rather more rustic version (and definitely more Comtoise in style) of eggs Benedict , that indispensible breakfast dish in Ian Fleming's novels. And you're right, there is a nod to James Bond here.

Madeleines

Madeleines, the delicious little cake so French, that everyone loves, and which, of course, always makes its little nod to Proust and his novel "Du coté de chez Swann". Small cake that is not so simple to succeed perfectly, that is to say to obtain the small bulging side on the top. But don't worry, you'll find in this recipe all the important points to watch for.
