I wanted to enjoy a tartiflette, but in a mini version, using cheese that is accessible and easier to find here in Quebec. I love this comforting French dish, which is perfect for sharing with family or friends! So I had the idea of serving it in bite-size portions to make it more elegant.

Another great idea for hosting

I love tartiflette, but why not serve it in bite-size portions to make it more elegant for your cocktail parties? I use Brie because it’s more widely available (and cheaper!) in Quebec.

It’s hard not to love this combination of flavors!

Why make this recipe?

Comforting bites everyone loves: the combination of crispy potatoes and melted brie creates a warm, elegant bite that appeals to both lovers of simple food and true gourmets.
A flavor that recalls tartiflette: thanks to the classic trio of potatoes, onions, and melted cheese. Here, brie is used instead of reblochon (a cheese that’s much easier to find in Québec) offering the same indulgent spirit in a more accessible way.
A make-ahead recipe that doesn’t lose its charm: the potatoes can be cooked and the onions caramelized in advance. When it’s time to serve, simply assemble and bake!
An irresistible mix of textures and contrasts: crispy potatoes, sweet caramelized onions, crunchy bacon, and gooey brie come together in perfect balance in a single bite.
A crowd-pleasing appetizer: the preparation requires no complicated or time-consuming techniques, yet delivers maximum impact.

To start things well

You use:

You cook for:

12 à 16 bites

Ingredients

4 cups potatoes, cut into thin slices (about ½ cm/0.2 in thick) 2 tbsp olive oil 1 yellow onion, minced 0.66 cup bacon, diced into small cubes 1 fresh thyme sprig 1 cup brie cheese, cut into slices approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) long Salt and pepper, to taste A drizzle of honey or a few sprigs of fresh thyme to finish (optional)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large skillet (I use cast iron), heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the potato slices and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper and set aside on paper towels.

In the same skillet, cook the bacon pieces until crispy. Add the chopped onion and thyme, then cook over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, until the onions are caramelized. Remove the thyme sprig.

On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place a potato slice, a spoonful of the onion and bacon mixture, and a slice of brie.

Bake for 10 minutes, until the Brie is melted and the bites are golden brown. Garnish with a drizzle of honey and a little fresh thyme, if desired. So good!
