  • Place the Valençay cubes and grated Bouton de Culotte cheeses into a bowl.
  • Finely chop the chervil and place half in a pan with the crème fraîche
  • Season well and bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Put aside to cool.
  • Add the remaining chervil to the cheeses, season well and mix with a fork until it forms a paste.
  • One by one, place the filo pastry sheets onto a damp tea towel, spoon some of the cheese paste onto one side, and fold the other side over.
  • Melt the butter and brush onto the 4 pastries. Place on a greased baking tray and place in the oven at 210°C, Gas Mark 6, 400°F, for 10 minutes.
  • Gently reheat the chervil cream sauce and serve alongside the pastries, with a salad on the side.
Try matching with a wine such as a Valençay, Pouilly Fumé, Chablis or a Chinon.
