Cooking tips

To keep the tongue soft, do not skip the cooking stage or reduce the cooking time.

If you want a crispier crust, increase the oven temperature for the last 5 minutes.

Don't overdo it with salt, as the cheese and soy sauce already contain salt.

Serve immediately after cooking, while the cheese is melted.

You can use any other mushrooms instead of champignons.

For variety, make several filling options: with olives or with capers.

These tongues go perfectly with mashed potatoes or rice.
