Comté Cheese Selection
Choose a Comté cheese that is aged at least 18 months for a richer, more complex flavor. Experiment with different aging periods to find your preferred profile.
Homemade Mayonnaise
Use high-quality olive oil and fresh egg yolks for the best flavor in your homemade mayonnaise. Experiment with adding Dijon mustard or herbs for extra depth.
Bacon Preparation
Cook the bacon until crispy but not burnt. Consider using thick-cut bacon for a more substantial texture and flavor.
Onion Caramelization
Take your time caramelizing the onions. Low and slow is key to developing their natural sweetness without burning them.
