PAIN D’EPICES WITH ONION CHUTNEY AND BLEU DES CAUSSES CHEESE
Ah, the pain d’épices, the smell of it send me directly through Christmas time at different ages of my childhood… In France, you find them a little bit everywhere. Pain d’épices is used with foie gras and lots of christmassy ingredients… Here in London, it is not that easy. ;)
So I brought several from Paris the last time I was there and I made this very easy-yummy amuse-bouches with the delicate strongness of the Bleu des Causses paired with an onion chutney : the perfect balance in my opinion!!! Bleu des Causses is a French blue cheese made from raw milk of Montbeliarde and Aubrac cows. Less stronger than its cousin the Roquefort, it is produce in the Southern part of France.
