Directions
Rinse the fruit and the basil.
Peel and finely dice the rhubarb.
Cut each strawberry into 4 pieces.
Finely chop the basil.
Place the rhubarb and sugar into a skillet, cover and cook for about 20 min. Add the strawberries and continue cooking for another 5 min.
Remove from heat, add the basil, then let cool.
Spread some the cooled compote over each crêpe. Fold the crêpe in half, then in half again.
Chef’s tip
As a variation, replace the basil with mint or lemon thyme.
Directions
Remove the cherry pits.
In a saucepan, cook the cherries with the sugar for around 20 min., then let cool.
Break the crisp Marseille biscuits into pieces.
Pour the compote into small glasses, then cover with a layer of biscuits.
Chef’s tip
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of vanilla-flavoured whipped cream.
Directions
Cut the Vendée brioche into slices. In a bowl, mix together the eggs, milk and sugar. Soak the brioche slices in this batter, then squeeze to remove the excess.
Melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the slices of brioche on both sides until brown. Let cool. Then flatten the slices with a rolling pin and cover with the strawberry, apricot and clementine-orange jam. Roll them up and serve.
Chef’s tip
Try flavouring the batter with some ground cinnamon or a bit of vanilla extract or vanilla sugar.
