Preparation	Resting	Start to finish
21 min.	10 min.	31 min.

Step by step recipe

1	Prepare 700 g Polenta the usual way.
2	When it is ready, add 250 g Mont d'or cheese in pieces. The best way is to take spoonfuls straight from the box. There is no need to leave the rind of the Mont d'Or. Also, scraping everything around the edge next to the spruce band adds to the woody flavour.
3	Cover and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
4	By the end of this time, the Mont d'Or will have started to melt...
5	...so put back on medium heat and mix the polenta with a whisk or wooden spatula until the cheese is fully mixed in. Check the seasoning.
6	Your polenta with Mont d'Or is ready. Serve on its own or to go with meat, for example.

Remarks

You can easily vary this recipe using other soft-paste cheeses (St Nectaire, etc.).
The quantity of Mont d'Or is for guidance, so do adapt this (a little more or less) to suit your taste.
