Grenoble: the marriage of the walnuts and chocolate

Ingredients for 6 people

* 90g sugar
* 5 eggs
* 140g of nuts
* 100g of chocolate
* 40g breadcrumbs
* 75g butter
* 1 vanilla bean

Preparation

Start by breaking the chocolate into pieces and melt in double boiler.

Meanwhile, separate the whites from the yolks. Mix yolks with sugar until a white mixture.

Then chop the walnuts. Put some aside, and add the rest to the egg and sugar mixture. Also add the breadcrumbs, melted butter and melted chocolate.
Split your vanilla bean in half, then try to extract a maximum of small seeds (they are the ones that give a scent of vanilla to the mix) that you add to the mix.

Then prepare your mold by buttering and lining the nuts previously set aside.

You can now beat the egg whites. Then gently stir in the mixture.

Pour into prepared pan, and bake for thirty minutes, thermostat 5 at 200 ° C. It is also possible to pour the batter into little molds to make individual Grenoble.

Idea: to give a more festive look to your Grenoble, decorate with small candies, marzipan or whose taste and texture will marry perfectly with it.
