Bonjour,
Being a book club member means that we have to be creative with our menus. On that particular evening the menu was: appetizers, salads and wine. The hostess was making the dessert. So, I wanted to bring something that would go with either meal. I decided on the French version of "cheesecake". It was a success! It is very different that the normal cheesecake that we all now in the US. This one is savory, it has 4 different cheeses in it. It goes very well with any salads, soups, or as a snack, So try it and you will like it ! Enjoy!
