Step by step recipe

1	Cut 100 g cooked Morteau sausage into small cubes and set aside.
2	Grate 100 g Comté cheese and set aside.
3	Bring salted 1 litre whole milk to the boil, reduce heat to "low", and pour into 250 g polenta meal milk.
4	Whisk until the polenta thickens. Check seasoning.
5	Pour 200 g metton cancoillotte...
6	... and stir with a spoon (the whisk is no longer effective once the polenta has thickened), until it has melted.
7	Add the grated Comté cheese.
8	Stir again to melt.
9	Finish with the diced Morteau sausages and mix one last time.
10	Serve piping hot.

Remarks

You can grill the diced Morteau sausage before pouring it into the polenta for a spicier taste.
Cancoillotte metton is not easy to find if you're not in Franche-Comté in France. If you can't find it, substitute it with classic cancoillotte.
