The word Jalousie means "jealousy" in French. It also is the word for slatted window blinds. This dessert is also called Jalousie. It is named that because it resembles the slatted window blinds a jealous wife is peeping through to catch her cheating husband! Oooooooh how I love the French! Especially when they smoke that crack and come up with crazy names for desserts.
The pastry is made out of puff pastry and usually filled with a fruit jam. The one shown here however, is not a dessert. Puff pastry can be used in both sweet and savory foods. This jalousie is filled with sauteed mushrooms and escarole with a bechamel sauce.
