Pour the cream with Époisses over.

Stage 15 - 2 min.

Finish with ½ cup grated cheese...

Stage 16 - 30 min.

...and brown in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Remarks

You can use another cheese of similar style (soft paste and full-flavoured) instead of the Époisses, but replacing it will lose the link to Burgundy.

A bouquet garni will do fine instead of the bayleaf and sage.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
