作り方
手順
- 1
Finely chop the fresh chives, parsley, and tarragon (if using) until very small.
約5 分
調理のヒント: Using fresh herbs is crucial for the vibrant flavor of this dish. Ensure they are thoroughly dried after washing to prevent diluting the cheese.
- 2
Mince the shallot and garlic clove very finely, ensuring no large pieces remain.
約3 分
調理のヒント: A microplane or garlic press can be used for the garlic to achieve a very fine consistency, which helps distribute its flavor evenly without overpowering the dish.
- 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the fromage blanc, chopped chives, parsley, and tarragon.
約1 分
調理のヒント: Ensure your fromage blanc is well-drained if it appears watery, as excess moisture can make the spread too loose.
- 4
Add the minced shallot and garlic to the cheese and herb mixture.
約1 分
- 5
Pour in the white wine vinegar and olive oil.
約1 分
調理のヒント: Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor, as it's a prominent component in the dressing.
- 6
Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
約1 分
調理のヒント: Start with the recommended amounts and taste after mixing; you can always add more seasoning but cannot remove it.
- 7
Gently fold all ingredients together with a spatula until they are just combined and the mixture appears creamy and uniform.
約2 分
調理のヒント: Avoid overmixing, which can break down the delicate texture of the fromage blanc and make the spread less airy.
- 8
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the spread to firm up slightly.
約30 分
調理のヒント: Chilling is essential for the flavors to fully develop and for the spread to achieve its optimal texture, making it easier to scoop and serve.
- 9
Serve the chilled Cervelle de Canut with slices of crusty baguette, crackers, or an assortment of fresh vegetable sticks like cucumber, carrots, and bell peppers.
調理のヒント: For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a fresh sprig of tarragon or a sprinkle of chives just before serving.

おいしく保存
This classic French spread is wonderfully versatile. For a slightly richer flavor, you can substitute a portion of the fromage blanc with crème fraîche. It pairs beautifully with a crisp, dry white wine like a Sancerre or a light rosé. Consider serving it as part of a larger charcuterie board for a delightful spread of flavors and textures.
Store leftover Cervelle de Canut in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
This dish is served chilled and does not require reheating. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving if it's too cold directly from the fridge.
