Ingredients

  • 1 Mont d'Or cheese
  • 4 Tbsp White wine
  • to taste Cracked Black Pepper
  • 12 -15 medium Potatoes
  • a selection Dried Meats prosciutto, ham, bresaola, salami

Instructions

  • Take the lid of the wooden cheese box. Cover the outside of the box with aluminium foil to prevent leaks.
  • Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • The size of your potatoes will vary the cooking time: medium ones will take about 30 -40 minutes to cook. Run a sharp knife over the top of each potato so that it doesn't explode when cooking, and put them in the oven on a baking tray, or straight on the metal rack. Leave them to bake until you can push a fork into them easily.
  • About 30 minutes before the potatoes are done, put the cheese in the oven to melt.
  • Arrange the various cuts of dried meats on plates.
  • When the cheese and potatoes are ready, put everything in the centre of the table and put a spoon in the melted cheese. Everyone can help themselves!  If you feel the need for something healthy, add a green salad to the dinner.
