3.5 oz (100 g) Papillon Roquefort
6 dried figs (or fresh, depending on season)

1 packet baking powder
1.1 oz (30 g) grated Emmental

Step-by-step recipe

1 Preheat the oven to 355°F (180 °C) (gas mark 6). Butter a loaf pan.

2 Cut the figs and Roquefort into cubes. Set aside.

3 In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.

4 In another bowl, beat the eggs as for an omelet. Pour in the milk and oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

5 Pour the egg mixture into the flour and stir. Add the Roquefort, figs, and grated Emmental. Mix well. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before turning out, and serve this cake with a green salad.

Chef Patrick's Comment

For my part, I would omit the Emmental, as it interferes with the distinctive flavor of the Papillon. And don't forget to preheat the oven!
