A festive appetizer that always makes an impression: the famous savory macarons! A recipe provided by a natural food company. Photo by Esther Wilhelmsson on Unsplash.

Ingredients
 180 brown cane sugar powder
 1 cornstarch
 80 almond flour
 2 eggs (80 g)
 1 pinch salt
 Some chopped walnut pieces
Directions
1

Blend 120 grams of light brown cane sugar with a tablespoon of cornstarch to achieve a texture similar to powdered sugar. Then mix with the almond flour.

2

Whip the egg whites with the salt. Add the remaining 60 grams of light brown sugar and continue to beat until the meringue is shiny. Waste prevention tip: do not throw away the egg yolks; you can use them to make a glaze, for example, or store them for up to 72 hours by confining them in an airtight jar with soy sauce.

3

Using a spatula, gently fold the sugar-almond mixture into the dough, lifting it as you go.

4

Gently lift the mixture from bottom to top to slightly deflate the egg whites; it should become a bit more liquid and shine well. However, do not overwork it to avoid deflating the egg whites too much.

5

Pipe the macarons using a piping bag (or spoon) by placing small rounds of the mixture on a sheet of baking paper. Let rest for one hour at room temperature.

6

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 145°C (convection). Feel free to check the cooking after 10 minutes; the crust should be firm but the inside soft. Let cool before handling.

7

Prepare the ganache in the meantime by crushing the blue cheese with the cream. Mix well to obtain a smooth preparation.

8

Assemble your macarons by sticking two shells together with your ganache, previously sprinkled with crushed nuts.
