Mirabelle pie

21 mar

Here is a typical recipe from Franche-Comte, a not really well-known but very pretty countryside region of north-east of France. It is made with mirabelle, a small yellow plumb with a sweet taste. Try this pie, I hope that you will like it!

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Difficulty: Very easy
Ingredients (for 6 people):
- 1 pack of unroll puff pastry
- 650 grams of mirabelles (small yellow plumbs)

Unroll the pastry and put it in a tin. Make holes in it with a fork.
Remove the kernel of the mirabelles and put them on the tin.
Cook in the oven for around 30 minutes thermostat 210 degrees.

Tip: if you can find mirabelles, you can do this recipe with plumbs.

Abricot pie

01 juil

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes in the oven thermostat 200 degrees
Difficulty: Very easy
Ingredients (for 6 persons):
- 10 abricots
- 20cl of double cream
- 50 gr of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar
- 2 eggs
- 250 gr of rolled puff pastry (if is quicker if you take the pastry already rolled)
- 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs

Unroll the puff pastry and put in on a pie tin.

Spread the bradcrumbs on the pastry. It will absord some of the abricot juice so your pie will not be too dry.

Stone the abricots and arrange them, opened, on the pastry.

In a bowl, mix together the eggs, the sugar, the vanilla sugar and the cream. Pour this sauce on the abricots.

Put the pie in the oven and cook it at thermostat 200 degrees for around 45 minutes, until the sauce gets a goldy colour.

Tip: serve this pie with a scope a vanilla ice cream… it is not good for your weight, but it is really yummy for your taste buds :)

Quiche lorraine

01 déc

Today I am going to share with you my recipe for one of the most famous French dish: the Quiche Lorraine. Don’t worry it is more simple to bake that it seems!

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 40 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients (for 4 persons):

-          250 gr of puff pastry

-          25 cl of simple cream

-          2 eggs

-          4 slices of cooked ham

-          100 gr of cheddar or Emmental

-          Salt and pepper

Roll out the pastry and put it into a pie pan. Stud the pastry with a fork to aerate it and avoid it to rise.

In a bowl, mix the cream with the eggs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cut the ham into dices and rape the cheese. Scatter the ham and the cheese on the pastry and cover with the cream and eggs mixture.

Cook into a hoven at 200 degrees for around 40 minutes, until the quiche Lorraine gets a golden colour.

You can serve as an appetizer cut into small pieces, or as a main dish accompanied with green salad.

Tip: You can replace the ham by bacon dices but it will make your quiche Lorraine more fatty.  You can also try with half bacon dices and half ham dices and choose your favourite option!
