Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Prepare 1 kg 400 g polenta the usual way.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

When it is ready, add 500 g Mont d'or cheese in pieces. The best way is to take spoonfuls straight from the box.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Cover and leave to rest for 10 minutes.

Stage 4

By the end of this time, the Mont d'Or will have started to melt...

Stage 5 - 3 min.

...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.

Stage 6

Your polenta with Mont d'Or is ready. Serve on its own or to go with meat, for example.
