The tourteau fromage I was trying for is made with a young goat cheese, but my family preferred the version I made with a combination of cream cheese and mascarpone. I figured since I'd failed at the traditional one, it wouldn't matter if I really took it off the rails and just developed my very own thing. Tourteau fromage is made with flour, sugar, egg yolks, whipped egg whites, and fresh local goat cheese. Good to know: Some people eat the blackened crust of a tourteau fromage, and some don't—it's a matter of personal preference.
