Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 250 g (9 oz.) Bresse bleu or other blue cheese
- 1 small head of broccoli
- 600 g (1 lb. 5 oz.) firm-fleshed potatoes
- 200 g (7 oz.) bacon, in small pieces
- 4 slices of pain d'épices (French gingerbread)
- 1 Tbsp. flour
- 60 g (1/4 cup) butter
- Coarse salt, pepper
Method
- Peel and slice the potatoes. Cook in boiling salted water.
- Meanwhile, cut the broccoli into florets; cook in boiling salted water, leaving slightly crisp.
- Cook the bacon bits over high heat for 2 minutes; drain and cool.
- Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F). Toast the gingerbread slices - they should be very dry without being browned.
- Crumble the gingerbread into coarse crumbs. With your fingers, work in the butter and flour. Rub the mixture between your palms to pulverize it.
- Dice half the Bresse bleu and blend it into the mixture without crushing it.
- Divide the potatoes, broccoli, remaining diced blue cheese and cooked bacon bits among 4 small individual casseroles or ramekins.
- Top with the gingerbread crumble without packing it down. Bake for 10 minutes.
