Canelés with Chorizo and Beaufort Cheese
Canelés traditionally

The best Canelé I tasted on a recent trip to Bordeaux came from the shop Baillardran. They have several shops in Bordeaux and a few others in the Aquitaine area. They also sell online. Baillardran offer a 2-hour workshop to make Canelé, I’d love to try this on my next visit!
I decided on a fusion creation of this French classic – so here is a recipe for a savoury version using Beaufort Cheese in celebration of their 50th Anniversary of achieving the prestigious AOP label.
