In a separate frying pan, brown the bacon pieces and the sliced Morteau sausage.
Cut the tomatoes into segments, dice the comté cheese, and add both ingredients to the plates along with the walnuts.
Share the contents of both frying pans between the plates.
Use the Jura wine to deglaze the pan used to fry the bacon and sausage. Add 2 large spoonfuls of cancoillotte, heat and use as a vinaigrette for a typically local taste.

Cooking tip

WHAT IS DEGLAZING?

Deglazing takes place at the end of cooking to dissolve the pan juices and use them to make a particulary tasty accompanying sauce.

It's very easy to do! Simply pour a glass of cold liquid into a cooking dish or frying pan when it's still hot. You can use water, alcohol, cream or fruit juice. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, then use the resulting juices as a sauce to accompany your dish.

A perfect balance
