Le Gruyère AOP Capuns

30' 10'

The perfect Christmas recipe, whether as a starter or a side dish – Le Gruyère AOP Capuns. Anyone who has made this before knows that Capuns need a lot of flair and a little more effort, but the effort is always worth it. I use Le Gruyère AOP Alpage for my Capuns, as the herby note goes perfectly with the chard. I put Le Gruyère AOP not only on the Capuns, but also inside the Capuns in the form of small cubes. This is then enjoyed as a creamy liquid during the meal and you can’t get enough of it. It is best to make the chicken stock yourself, as it tastes much better than the store-bought kind. If you are short on time, just ask the village butcher – his version will be almost as good as the homemade one. Finally, before serving, grate lots of Le Gruyère AOP over the Capuns – the more the better. Enjoy cooking and have a Merry Christmas.
