Patissons in the oven

30 minutes
Baked pattypans are a refined recipe that combines the tenderness of roasted vegetables with the rich creamy flavor of goat cheese. Baking reveals the sweetness of pattypans, while aromatic herbs—thyme and rosemary—add an elegant character to the dish. Light caramelization of muscovado adds a piquant note, balancing the salty undertones of butter. Historically, pattypans were valued for their softness and ability to absorb flavors, and pairing them with cheese sauce makes them an ideal side or standalone dish. Serving with crispy bread highlights the textural richness, creating a harmonious blend of tender and crunchy. This signature recipe is a find for gourmets who appreciate simplicity with an exquisite touch.
