Baked Reblochon Pithiviers Style!

To turn this Baked Reblochon into a vegetarian dish, simply replace the bacon lardons with a selection of chopped wild mushrooms. You could use other cheeses in place of Reblochon like Brie or Camembert.

It is made with potatoes, reblochon cheese, lardons and onions. A splash of white wine can be added too. The word tartiflette is probably derived from the Arpitan word for potato (tartiflâ) or from the Savoyard tartifles, a term also found in Provençal and Gallo-Italian.

Crozets. Crozets are like square-shaped little pasta made with buckwheat flour. They are often cooked with white wine and cream and served with meat and vegetables. They are also used in a dish called Croziflette, which is like a tartiflette but made with the Crozets instead of potatoes.

To reheat tartiflette in the oven, it's best to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes and then place the tartiflette inside an oven-safe dish. Cover with aluminum foil and heat for about 30 minutes or until the cheese has melted again.

The traditional cheese to use is Reblochon, which can be hard to get (and expensive) outside of France. Any semi-soft cheese with a brie- or camembert-like texture, that melts well, will work.

It is also a cheese traditionally made with raw milk that ripens in less than 60 days. But you will not find this semi-soft, raw cheese anywhere in the US. The FDA banned it in 2004 for falling short of the required aging time (it's traditionally aged for just 50 days).

There are two great British cheeses that can replace Reblochon - Baronet and Rollright. Both are washed rind cheeses with lovely creamy textures.

Tasting Reblochon: Reblochon has a creamy, softer-than-Brie texture; a nutty after taste; and a strong herbal aroma that is not for the timid. The cheese becomes bitter, however, when overripe.

Reblochon, an Alltime Favorite Cheese

But, you will not find raw milk Reblochon in America, our overly-protectionist Food Police (FDA) have made this unfortunate change in just the past few years. So, the only way to experience this gem is to make it yourself.

Indulgent, comforting, hugely fattening but completely irresistible, Tartiflette is warming, sustaining, really hard to beat as an occasional but wonderful treat and a bit of a luxury.

Reblochon has a yellow to orange rind with an ivory body inside. Its rind is edible. Reblochon cheese is washed briefly with a whey solution before being left to grow a light dusting of white mould. It works with a Pinot Grigio and can pair equally well with lighter red wines.

There are two great British cheeses that can replace Reblochon - Baronet and Rollright. Both are washed rind cheeses with lovely creamy textures. It's hard to beat a good aged Comté and part of us doesn't even want to try, but if we have to try then we'd go with Cornish Kern.

Brie shares some similarities with Camembert, as both are soft-ripened cheeses made from cow's milk. Brie has a rich and buttery flavor with a hint of earthiness, making it a suitable alternative for those seeking a similar taste to Camembert. Another option to consider is a triple-cream cheese.

Brie—officially Brie de Meaux, a name-protected cheese—is in the same subfamily as Camembert, but its production process, geography, and format are slightly different.

Camembert can indeed be baked in the wooden box that it originally comes in and remove the paper sheet that it comes in. However, not all Camembert cheese comes in a wooden crate so that you can make it in a cardboard box. Camembert cheese must not be placed on a baking pan without anything around it.
