Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 1 piece Mont d'Or cheese; 2 pieces Shallot; 3 sprigs Thyme; 1 clove Garlic; Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2

Peel the garlic and the shallot. Cut the shallot into 4 pieces.
Step 3

Using a sharp knife, make a circular incision in the top of the cheese. Use a small spoon or spatula to gently lift the rind. Then, insert the garlic clove and the shallot pieces. Pour in the white wine and sprinkle with thyme.
Step 4

Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is softened and melted. Switch the oven to broil/grill for the last 3 minutes to make the rind crispy.
Step 5

Serve with roasted new potatoes, salad, and slices of rustic bread.

Notes:
This cheese, protected by a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), is traditionally made in the Jura mountains. Its seasonality is strictly regulated: it is only produced and sold between September 10 and May 10, coinciding with the period when cows graze in the mountains and sufficient milk is available.
