Gingerbread and Époisses Toasts

Ingredients

Serves 6.

• 1 fresh gingerbread loaf
• 1 fresh Époisses cheese, preferably not fully ripened
• 1 green salad, optional

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Cut the gingerbread into 12–18 slices, allowing 2–3 toasts per person.
3. Slice the Époisses and place a piece on each slice of gingerbread.
4. Bake until the cheese melts and the toasts are lightly browned. Watch them closely to prevent the gingerbread from burning.
5. Serve warm as an appetizer or arrange over a bed of green salad.
