Direction

Tartlets:
Sauté the white onions in a frying pan with olive oil and yellow artichokes, add the pinch of garlic and finely-chopped riquette. Salt and pepper, then add tomato petals, basil and 3 beaten eggs. Fill the 1.5 to 2 cm deep tartlets that you have placed in non-stick Flexipan moulds, after first adding the sandwich bread. Bake 15 minutes at 180°C, topped with a Nice black olive.

Chilled melon with tomato:
Peel and dice the melon, then peel and seed the tomatoes. Sauté them in olive oil for just one minute over a high flame. Salt and pepper. Put all the ingredients in a mixer bowl with the basil leaves. Purée and let chill in the refrigerator.
