October 2015 Trip Review
There were only a handful of people in the bakery so I took a few minutes to take these photos, starting with…
“Marie! The baguettes!”
Then some sandwiches and salads…
Jambon Beurre – Ham & Cheese topped with Dijon mustard butter on a demi-baguette
Dinde BLT – Turkey, Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Garlic Aioli on a demi-baguette
Poulet au Pistou – Chicken breast with cheese, tomato, red onion and pesto
Croissant Jambon Fromage – Ham, Cheese, and Bechamel in a croissant
Salade Bleu – Romaine lettuce, Bleu Cheese, and Croutons
Note: This looked like the same bleu cheese that topped my salad at Monsieur Paul, which I didn’t care for.
Salade Nicoise with Tuna, Eggs, Tomato, Red Peppers, and Red Onion
And a few more of their savory specialties…
Roule Lard & Fromage – Bacon & Cheese Roll
Tartine aux Fromages – Country Bread topped with Tomato Sauce, Swiss, Parmesan & Goat Cheeses
Quiche Lorraine (ham and gruyere cheese) and Quiche Florentine (spinach and goat cheese)
Pissaladiere – Focaccia bread topped with tomatoes, black olives and Gruyère cheese
Croque Monsieur – Toasted Ham and Cheese Sandwich
I also photographed some of the Tartes (tarts)…
Citron Tarte – Lemon Cream tart topped with Meringue
]
Fraises – Vanilla Cream tart topped with Strawberries
I noticed there was a small change to their chocolate tart. It used to look like this…
Tarte au Chocolat – Caramel Cream and Chocolate Mousse tart
Now they put a lid on it…
And a tart that I don’t recall seeing here before…
Tarte au Flan et Cerises – Custard Tart with cherries
And a few more of their many desserts that caught my eye, starting with Creme Brulee…
Biscuit Chocolat – Chocolate Chip Cookies
Framboise – Raspberry Mousse Cake
Cafe Liegeois – coffee and chocolate mousse topped with cream
Mousse au Chocolate – Chocolate Mousse
So after seeing all that, what do you suppose that I chose for my breakfast? Well, I was between two things. The first of these was the Quiche Lorraine but I ultimately decided on the Ham and Cheese Croissant, which I asked to be heated to maximize the yumminess…
These are so good! The combination of a warm, fresh croissant and ham, bechamel, and melted cheese make for such a delicious breakfast sandwich. Boy, I wish I had one of these right now!
The Ham & Cheese Croissants are definitely one of my favorites at Boulangerie Patisserie. How about you? What are your favorites?
