Step by step recipe

Stage 3 - 1 min.
Mix together.
Stage 4 - 3 min.
Slice ½ baguette fairly thinly.
Stage 5 - 5 min.
Spread the topping on all the slices.
Stage 6 - 1 min.
Scatter the rest of the grated Comté on top.
Stage 7 - 7 min.
Put in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, watching for browning.
Stage 8

Remarks
You can use another cheese, if you prefer, instead of the Comté. Hard-paste types work best, though this is not essential. Mimolette, for example, gives a very different flavour (as well as a lovely colour).
Don't add salt in stage 2 as the cheese and mustard are already salty enough.
Don't add salt in stage 2 as the cheese and mustard are already salty enough.
Keeping: Best enjoyed hot, straight from the oven.
