65 g unsalted Brugge Butter
2.5 dl water
3 eggs
50 g finely grated Brugge Old
1 sugar lump

2dl thick white roux made of 50 g flour, 50 g butter, 1.5 dl full milk
½ tsp chicken stock powder

10 tart forms of about 3 cm in diameter

Little balls:
Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
Boil down the water, Brugge Butter and sugar. Stir the flour into this mixture until it all forms a ball. Take everything off the stove.
Mix the eggs and grated Brugge Abt through the pastry until it forms a shiny ball.
Make little balls of about 2 cm in diameter from the pastry. Lay greaseproof paper in the oven dish and place the little pastry balls on it.
Sprinkle the grated Brugge Old over the little balls and bake in a preheated oven at 200° till they are nice and brown.
Serve hot or cold with coffee or a dessert wine.
Tarts:
Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
Make a roux with the flour, butter and milk.
Add the Brugge Abt, eggs, spices and stock powder. Mix well.
Grease the tart forms.
Lay the puff pastry in the forms and use a fork to prick a number of holes in the bottom of the forms. Then spoon the sauce into the tart forms.
Sprinkle the grated Brugge Old over the filled tart forms and bake in a preheated oven at 200° till they are nice and brown.
You can serve them hot or cold with coffee or as dessert.
