This long-time dessert favourite has been around for over 60 years. Brigitte Bardot made the Tropezienne famous by when she first moved to Saint Tropez. To create this amazing dessert, there are three separate parts to the recipe: the brioche, the pastry cream and the whipped cream.…

Pan Bagnat a French Sandwich Treat from Nice

April 2, 2020
