Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute Gruyère or cheddar for Comté, and shallots for leeks.

    This was delicious. I used a long loaf pan again which took about 10 minutes less time to cook. I also used cheddar & a shallot- & would definitely make this again!

    This is a knock-out “appetizer", and it really does have the texture of a cake. I’ve make these hors d’oeuvre breads before, and never liked them, but as a cake? This was a WOW from start to finish. Used Gruyere and probably baked for 55 minutes. The knife test is important, don’t use a toothpick.
