Also called a hot box, the oven Mont d’Or is one of the most iconic melted cheese dishes, a pure delight.
The whole cheese is to melt in the oven with a little white wine. To be enjoyed with potatoes and cold meats of course.
Information on Mont d’Or cheese
Mont d’Or is a Vacherin AOP du Haut-Doubs, which corresponds to the mountainous part of the Doubs department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, along the Swiss border, in the Jura massif. This cow cheese is thus made at 700 meters above sea level.
The Mont d’Or obtained the AOC appellation in 1981, which became PDO in 1996. Today there are 10 cheese factories which produce Mont d’Or in accordance with the AOP specifications.
Vinged for 21 days, he notably draws his aromas from the spruce: he surrounded with a spruce strap, refined on spruce plates and then wrapped in his box made of spruce always. The conifers gives cheese its taste so tasty and characteristic.
Origin of Vacherin
The AOP Mont d’Or website tells us that the “Vacherin” was the cheese of “cowers” from which its name comes.
In winter, cows giving little milk, the breeders made small cheeses on the farm for their personal consumption. The peasants thus valued the winter milks while the more fragrant spring and summer milks were intended for the county.
We remove the lid Place under the box and leave the cheese in its wooden box. We scratch the upper crust in the center As in the photos, a big circle in the center.
This is where theWe pour the white wine And We have the chopped garlic (or shallot). I assure you this recipe is also very good without wine and/or without garlic, with just the cheese to melt.
That’s it for preparation. Some cover with aluminum foil, parchment paper or even close the box. I leave as it is. If you are afraid that a crust is formed, it will be enough to mix at the outlet of the oven.
Place the hot box in the center of the table Always in its wooden box and offer as an accompaniment the same as for a raclette: potatoes in field dresscooked with salt water or steam, The charcuterie of your choice, pickles and green salad.
It is a friendly dish par excellence. Each dips with their fork a piece of potato in the Mount Mondé d’Or melted and eats their portion immediately with the accompaniment of their choice.
And as for the Savoyard fondue, watch out for the pledge if you lose your piece of potato!
Also test by dipping endive leaves instead of potato pieces as I offer you for my roasted camembert in the oven.
Golden Mont in the oven
Also called hot box, this melted cheese dish is a pure delight. The whole cheese is to melt in the oven with a little white wine. To be enjoyed with potatoes and cold meats of course.
To prevent standby
The way to taste this dish is that everyone plunges a piece of potato in the box to taste a bite filled with melted cheese.
Enjoy your food !
For lovers of comforting meals with melted cheese, I also offer my tartiflette recipe. Originally from Savoy, I had to share it with you as well as its story because you imagine that when I was young in Albertville, we did not yet spoke of tartiflette.
Enjoy
