Instructions

  1. First prepare the dough. To do this, briefly heat the milk and butter, place in a bowl with the flour, salt, sugar and dry yeast and knead vigorously until you get a smooth dough. If the dough becomes too sticky, add a little flour; If the dough is too dry, add a little milk. Cover the bowl with the batter and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
  2. Clean the Brussels sprouts, cut into a cross shape on the stalk, wash and cook in boiling salted water for about 15 minutes. Then quench with cold water, this gives it a beautiful, bright color.
  3. Peel and finely chop onions and garlic, grate the cheese. Melt some butter in a pan and fry the onions in it. When the onions turn brown, add the diced bacon and garlic and let them sweat for a moment. Season with pepper, paprika and a little salt, bring to the boil. Then deglaze with the white wine and let it boil down a little so that a nice brew is created.
  4. Grease a springform pan, roll out the dough in it, press a dough edge on.
  5. Whisk the milk with the eggs, add the creme fraiche and 100 g of the grated cheese and add everything together to the onion and bacon stock. If necessary, dice the Brussels sprouts and add them here as well. This is now the finished cake filling, if necessary season again.
