There’s goose egg I similar to a greater extent than than getting a nutrient wishing for something I didn’t know existed, too thank yous to a Mr. Patrick Ryan, I straightaway know that tartiflette exists. This striking looking dish is basically a potato, onion, too bacon casserole, topped amongst Reblochon cheese.

If yous haven’t heard of Reblochon, don’t experience bad. It’s illegal here. Since it’s made amongst raw milk, which manifestly is dangerous, fifty-fifty though people cause got been eating it for centuries, it’s non allowed to hold out imported into the country. However, spell yous can’t travel the existent stuff, without smuggling at least, yous tin plow over notice travel a wonderful substitute, called “Dancing Fern,” from Sequatchie Cove Creamery.

If you’re wondering what it’s like, this is their description: “…soft too supple texture too barnyardy aroma, along amongst notes of cultured butter, shiitake mushroom, too walnuts.” You tin plow over notice notice it at your finer cheese shops, or from several online sources, too spell really expensive, it actually was a magnificent cheese.

If yous can’t swing faux-reblochon, I’ve read nearly to a greater extent than or less people using one-half gruyere too one-half brie. After tasting the finished product, I tin plow over notice run across how that combo could practice a somewhat similar flavour profile. Of course, since we’re talking nearly potatoes too bacon, only nearly whatever melting cheese should operate beautifully. I actually promise yous plow over this amazing casserole a endeavor soon. Enjoy!
