Le plat d'accompagnement classique du jour de Noël, réinventé. Black Bomber, notre cheddar extra-vieux et gourmand, associe des lardons de bacon croustillants et une généreuse touche de crème double pour transformer ces petits légumes qui divisent en un gratin délicieusement crémeux que toute la famille adorera.

Method:

  1. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).
  3. In a large cast-iron skillet or oven-safe frying pan, heat the knob of butter over medium heat on the hob.
  4. Add the smoked bacon lardons and fry until golden and crispy (about 4-5 minutes).
  5. Remove the bacon lardons from the pan and place them on a plate lined with kitchen towel to drain off any excess fat. Set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, double cream and grated Black Bomber. Add a little salt and pepper.
  7. Stir everything together until the sprouts are well-coated with the cream and cheese mixture.
  8. Transfer the creamy sprouts into the pan you used to cook the bacon.
  9. Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and cooked through, and the top is golden and bubbling.
  10. Remove from the oven and add the crispy smoky bacon lardons.

Jo’s Truffle Trove Alfredo pasta

Truffle Trove, our extra mature Cheddar infused with Black Summer truffle, is “the best cheese in the world” according to our customer Jo, who messaged us on social media. And who are we to argue? Jo loves this indulgent cheese so much that she used it to invent what has become her family’s favourite dish, Truffle Trove Alfredo pasta – and we’re sharing it with you here. Delicious spooned over linguine, this rich, creamy and extra cheesy sauce is made with both Truffle Trove and Black Bomber, crushed garlic, double cream, chestnut mushrooms, chicken strips and pancetta. “Truffle Trove takes this sauce to the next level,” says Jo. Her whole family loves it – and now we do too.
