Crozets
Crozets are a French type of pasta made from eggs, buckwheat and wheat flour and a little salt. What is noticeable and different from many other types of pasta is that they are used in the form of small plates of around 5 by 5 millimeters , so they have to be dried thoroughly. Cooking time is about ten minutes.
Crozets originally come from Savoy , located in the Alps , but are now sold throughout France and French-speaking Switzerland . In Germany and Austria they are not yet sold nationwide. Crozets can be cooked like other pasta or served in the form of a casserole . It is typical to serve crozets with a strong cheese such as Reblochon , Gruyere or Beaufort as well as bacon and onions .
origin
The name Crozet may originally come from croseti , which is a form of Italian pasta . As in a recipe (number III-11) in " Liber de Coquina ", one of the oldest medieval cookbooks, croseti were made from the same batter as the original lasagna .
