  • This Tart de Bry, or Brie Tart, comes from The Forme of Cury and was served at the table of King Richard II (1367 - 1400). It's flavor is nearly as rich as the history of the cheese that goes into it, and in this episode I will explore both.

    TART DE BRY
    RECIPE (1390 - The Forme of Cury)
    Tart de Bry Take a crust ynch depe in a trape. Take yolkes of ayren rawe and chese ruayn and medle it and the yolkes together. And do thereto powdor gynger, sugar, safron and salt. Do it in a trape, bake it, and serve it forth.
    MODERN RECIPE (Based on Lorna J Sass's adaptation from To The King's Taste - amzn.to/3bNg2XE )
    INGREDIENTS
    - 1 pound of Brie cheese, the younger the better
    - 6 egg yolks
    - ⅛ tsp saffron (about 10 threads ground up)
    - ¾ tsp light brown sugar or more if you want a sweeter tart.
    - ⅜ teaspoon powdered ginger
    - A pinch of salt
    - A sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)
    METHOD
    1. Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C.
    2. Roll out your tart dough to about an ⅛ inch thick and line your tin. Add pie weights and set in the oven to blind bake for 10 minutes. Remove the crust and remove the pie weights. If the bottom of the crust is not fully cooked, return it to the oven without the weights for 5 minutes. Once out of the oven, press down the bottom of the crust if it has risen. Allow crust to cool completely and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F / 175°C.
    3. Remove the rind from the brie saving some to the side. Then cut the brie into small pieces and place in a blender with the egg yolks. Blend together. Then add the saffron, brown sugar, ginger, and salt and blend to combine.
    4. Place a bit of the rind on the bottom of the tart and add the cheese mixture and smooth the top. If you are using cinnamon or nutmeg, sprinkle a bit on top now.
    5. Bake at 350°F / 175°C for 30 to 40 minutes or until the top is set and begins to brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    A small hint from a Frenchman. The reason why you find brie mild is because it is not proper brie. The difference is huge between AOP Brie de Meaux and industrial brie. Brie de Meaux is made with raw milk and is much, much, much stronger, tasting very close to camembert, with hints of mushrooms, nuts and cow butts hehe. I know its nearly impossible to find Brie de meaux in other countries, but if you want to be closer to the original taste of this receipe i would suggest to put a raw milk brie equivalent, or a young camembert made with raw milk. Try it you will be amazed by the difference! Love your channel, already cooked the Torte, gonna try the lasagna next!

    My recommendation for the tart crust is to cover it completely with aluminum foil plus weights and bake it for 12-15 instead. Keeps it fairly consistent, cooks it through, and keeps it from puffing up too much. I tried both the regular recipe and one with 3 tbsp of brown sugar, and even with that much sugar it's still savory enough to go with any marmalade you like, but a tart one works best (I love blackberry marmalade)

    You are the greatest history and food nerd on CZcams. I developed K-12 textbooks for years. Your content is so adaptable (monetizable) for online education. You're already great at the intersection of food, culture, economics, and history. Cooking is full of STEM friendly topics - math, biology, chemistry. What's your new persona - Professor Pie, The Don of Donuts? Think about it.

    Lovely Max! Here's a tip with ANY tart using a blind-baked crust: To keep the filling from making the undercrust soggy, put about a 50/50 mix of MARMALADE and Cointreau or brandy or any liquor in a pot and melt together, then brush that glaze on the cooled crust before filling to let it (a) seal and (b) set up a bit. This will insulate the crust from the filling AND taste delicious. Oh, and as for pie weights? Plain old dry kidney beans work well, too. GREAT work as always! Thanks! (OH, y'know what might work as a spice for this dish? A quick dash of cayenne!)

    Okay, I hope this isn't a violation of your site's terms, but a friend gave me a recipe for brie soup last year - here it is plus a tip for how to use cheese leftovers in an unusual way:
    Brie soup:
    1/4 cup butter
    1 small onion, minced
    3 stalks celery, chopped
    1/4 cup flour
    4 cups chicken stock
    1/2 pound brie cheese with the rind, cubed
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    1 tablespoon green bell pepper, cut into very fine matchsticks
    1 tablespoon red bell pepper, cut into very fine matchsticks
    Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onions and celery until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock. Simmer until the celery is tender, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the brie and allow to melt for about 5 minutes.
    Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Puree in batches until smooth, and pour into a clean pot. Heat the soup to almost simmering over medium-low heat. Pour in the cream. To serve, garnish with red and green pepper strips.
    Serves six.
    I've steeped parm rinds in cream to make a chocolate ganache and it's excellent. Used the ganache as fillings for dipped bon bons. The cheese and dark chocolate combo really worked well.
    The brie soup was tasty, but a bit on the heavy side...

    ° Thick slices of bacon or variation of choice
    ° 1 medium tart sweet tart apple sliced extra thin
    ° Raw Honey - whipped if you prefer
    ° Quality Brie
    ° peel & core apple and slice very thin, like paper
    ° slice bread lenthwise and warm in oven
    ° spread soft Brie cheese in generous amounts across both sides of the bread
    ° stack the apples, then bacon on the loaf
    ° drizzle with warm honey
    ENJOY.
