Crispy Reblochon bricks are a perfect blend of crunch and melt-in-the-mouth cheese. Simple to prepare, they bring a touch of indulgence to any meal. Ideal as a starter, for an aperitif, or even as a main dish with a fresh salad, they will delight cheese lovers.

A Few Carefully Chosen Ingredients for our Crispy Reblochon bricks

You will need:

  • 1 Reblochon cheese
  • 8 sheets of brick pastry
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 knob of butter
  • 1 teaspoon of honey
  • A few sprigs of thyme
  • Pepper to taste

Preparing the Crispy Reblochon Bricks

First, cut the Reblochon into eight equal portions. Then, take a sheet of brick pastry and place a piece of cheese in the centre. Add a drizzle of honey, a pinch of thyme, and a twist of pepper.

Next, fold the brick pastry to form a triangle or a small parcel, ensuring the cheese is well wrapped. Seal the edges with a little beaten egg yolk to prevent them from opening during cooking.

In a frying pan, melt a knob of butter over medium heat. Then, brown the bricks on each side until golden and crispy. It only takes a few minutes per side.

A Meltingly Delicious Tasting Experience

These crispy Reblochon bricks are best enjoyed hot, straight from the pan, to fully appreciate the contrast between the crispy exterior and the soft, melted cheese inside. They pair wonderfully with a green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette, which balances the richness of the cheese.

For an even more gourmet touch, serve them with a fig chutney or a homemade onion confit. Their sweet and savoury combination enhances the creamy flavour of the Reblochon.

To fully enjoy these crispy Reblochon bricks, pair them with a well-balanced white wine. Absolu Blanc from Domaine des Oullières, with its floral notes and elegant freshness, perfectly complements the creaminess of the cheese while adding a touch of liveliness to the palate.
