An emblematic pastry of bakeries in mainland France, the Swiss pastry seduces with its delightful combination of soft pastry, pastry cream and chocolate. Although it is not a Swiss specialty, it has become an essential part of breakfast and afternoon snacks.
An essential pastry in our bakeries, the Swiss pastry, also called Swiss brioche, is one of those little gourmet pleasures that punctuate the daily life of French people. Nearly two-thirds of us consume pastries at least once a week!
Contrary to what its name suggests, the Swiss pastry is only Swiss in name! Generous and indulgent, it has become a great classic of French bakeries, without being part of Swiss baking traditions.
The secret to its success? It all lies in its play of textures: crispy puff pastry, soft dough, creamy vanilla pastry cream, and the powerful taste of chocolate to finish. Each bite takes you back to childhood and leaves a sweet impression of comfort!
