Ingredients

Persons-+

100gram Henri Willig mature biscuit cheese

4 slices of butter puff pastry
40 grams of butter

Preparation

1
Take 6 thawed slices of buttercream puff pastry and lay them on top of each other. Roll this out into a slice of about 30x40 cm

Next, make the cream. Put 40g cream butter and 100g grated mature biscuit cheese together in a bowl and mix until creamy. Make sure the cheese and butter are at room temperature so they mix well. Season with salt, white pepper and curry.

3
Spread the cheese cream over the puff pastry but leave an edge free over the long side, otherwise there will be a double amount of cream there.
4
Fold the puff pastry inwards. Do this from both sides in 2 steps. So first fold a strip of about 7 cm inwards on both sides. And then repeat this again until both sides come together.
5
Then spread one side with egg and fold the parts together.
6
Now put the dough in the fridge for 1-2 hours to stiffen, so you can cut easily and sharply later.
7
Remove the dough from the fridge, cut thin strips of 2-4 mm
8
Place these on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. You can make about 50-60 cheese butterflies with this recipe.
9
Is the baking tray filled? Then bake the butterflies for 20 minutes at 170 °C
10
Let them cool for a while and serve.

How do cheese butterflies stay crispiest for the longest time?

Store them in a tightly sealed drum or jar in a dry place, outside the fridge. This will keep them nice and crispy. Avoid air and moisture, as they will quickly become soft.

Serving and variation tip

Serve the cheese butterflies as an appetiser with a bowl of tapenade, pesto or fig bread. Also delicious as a crunchy accent to a creamy soup or on a festive cheeseboard.
