Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 10ml (2 tsp) vegetable oil
- 300g (10 oz) bacon, chopped
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 5ml (1 tsp) fresh thyme leaves
- 284ml (1/2 pint) double (heavy) cream
- 300ml (1/2 pint) milk
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1kg (2 lbs) waxy potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 250g mature ripe Brie, cut into thin slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/350°F/gas mark 4, and lightly grease a 1.5-litre ovenproof dish. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the bacon and onion over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes until beginning to brown.
- Chop the thyme leaves, reserving a few to garnish. Place the thyme, cream, milk and garlic in a large pan. Bring to a simmer, add the potatoes, then cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the bacon and onions and season with freshly ground black pepper. Place half the potato mixture in the base of the prepared dish, then top with half the sliced cheese. Repeat, finishing with a layer of cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, and the top is golden. Garnish with the remaining thyme and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve a salad on the side.
- A crisp, white wine cuts through the richness of the dish – a classic combination.
- This dish can be assembled, ready to cook, several hours in advance or the day before. Cool, then cover with clingfilm and leave in the fridge until required. Remove the clingfilm and allow 10-15 minutes extra time in the oven if cooking straight from the fridge.
- You can divide the ingredients equally between 6 individual dishes if you prefer.
- Brie cheese has got a rind but is perfectly safe to eat. Simply slice the cheese and use in the recipe.
