Cervelle de canut (6 portions)

100g Fromage blanc cheese

75g Brillat-Savarin

100g Crème fraiche

5ml Chardonnay vinegar

40g Shallot (finely diced)

4g Chive (chopped)

4g Chervil (chopped)

4g Tarragon (chopped)

½ Lemon (zest)

15g Dijon mustard

Salt + pepper

  1. Start by finely chopping your shallot and fresh herbs, chives and chervil are okay to be chopped whole as they are, but its best to pick the tarragon leaves before chopping.

  2. Start with the Brillat-Savarin, remove the white rind and place the cheese into a bowl. Using a spoon beat the cheese until it has a smooth consistency. Next add the fromage blanc and crème fraiche, mix well. Finish the cervelle by adding all remaining ingredients, check the seasoning and add more salt + pepper if required. This dip will sit happily in the fridge for up to 5 days, put it in a container or serving bowl and start spooning it over everything.
