Remarks
If you don't have Morteau sausage, you can use another type of smoked sausage or plain sausagemeat, though it won't be quite as good.

Similarly, if you don't have cancoillote, use a creamy textured cheese, such as Le Mont d'Or, instead.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film. Reheats very well.
