The Poor Clares of Vermand, in the diocese of Soissons, are preparing their hearts for the coming of the Lord at Christmas. Sister Christine Marie, in the kitchen, is preparing a festive meal. Those with a sweet tooth can wait a little: before desserts, here are some ham and cheese briochettes. Mix a tablespoon of warmed milk with the yeast; beat 4 eggs like an omelette, add the yeast and flour, then the butter. The mixture is mixed in a food processor and the dough is risen successively in a preheated, turned off oven... The briochettes will be stuffed with cheese, eggs, ham, and baked. Make way for the Christmas biscuits, with chopped nuts mixed with flour, yeast, eggs and sugar, melted butter and rum. The flattened dough is filled, rolled... When it comes out of the refrigerator, this roll is sliced and the cooked slices will delight young and old alike.
