The recipe, step by step

  1. 01

    Parmesan Sablé

    Mix together the butter, sugar, ground almonds, orange flower water, salt, Parmesan, and flour until a dough forms.

    Knead on speed 2 until the mixture lightens slightly.

    Roll out to 4 mm using a dough sheeter and place between two sheets of baking paper and two Silpains.

    Let rest overnight in the refrigerator.

    Cut out with a 145 mm long éclair-shaped cutter.

    Bake between two Silpains for 15-20 minutes at 170°C (fan setting 4).

  2. 02

    Parmesan Cream

    Bring the milk and cream to a boil.

    Mix the eggs and egg yolks with the cornstarch, grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and paprika.

    Add the yolks and mix.

    Pour one-third of the hot milk over the egg mixture and stir.

    Return the mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

    Cook for 1 minute per litre.

    Blend until smooth.

  3. 03

    Croutons

    Using the ends of the croissants, cut 2x2 cm cubes to make croutons.

    Place them on a baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt.

    Bake for 12-14 minutes at 160°C.

  4. 04

    Chicken

    Cut the chicken into small cubes and sear them in olive oil.

  5. 05

    Shaping

    Take the sablé base and pipe a line of Parmesan cream using a plain 10 mm tip.

    Top with chicken cubes, gem lettuce, Parmesan shavings, and halved caper berries, arranging them irregularly without pressing down to create volume.

    Place three croutons on top as decoration.
