There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Matafan (Matefaim) Bacon and Cheese - Untested


For 4 to 5 people

about 150 gr of bacon
4 eggs
20 cl milk (207g)
150g of flour
1 pinch of nutmeg, salt, pepper
about 100 gr grated cheese (comté, emmenthal beaufort)
Optional chives
1 Tbsp oil
  1. Blanch the bacon a few minutes in boiling water. (testing. Perhaps frying until only just starting to turn brown).
  2. Mix together the flour, the eggs and milk (into a very thick pancake batter). 
  3. Add the grated cheese.
  4. Add a pinch of nutmeg (optional) and chives (if using). Salt (be careful if your bacon is smoked) and pepper.
  5. Heat some oil (or duck fat) in an oven-ready frying pan, and pour the preparation into it.
  6. Cook over low heat without stirring the preparation (just peel off the edges with a spatula) and let it set.
  7. When it comes off the pan and the underside is golden, sprinkle with bacon on top of the dough (which is not yet set and is a bit runny)
  8. Put the pan in the oven at 350°F (or the cake on a baking dish) and finish cooking.
  9. Enjoy it hot with a salad on the side.
