Mont d'or in brioche
For this delicious winter Comtoise recipe, we enclose a layer of grilled onions, diced Morteau sausage, sautéed potatoes and a Mont d'or in a brioche pastry.
The whole thing, rather like a large pie, is baked in the oven, before being slit open to enjoy the melted Mont d'or that has deliciously dripped onto the layers below.

The mont d'or
Remove the 3 lb + 4.8 oz Mont d'or cheese crust, then set aside.I'm using cut cheese here, but it would be just as good, if not better, with a small whole mont d'or.

Remarks
The proportions are indicative, so feel free to adapt them to the diameter of your circle, but it's important that there's a good quantity of mont d'or.
You can do without the circle, as it's less easy to garnish, and less even after baking, but it retains a very interesting rustic touch.
All the preparation can be done well in advance, and the assembly done at the last minute.
Just before putting in the oven, you can brown the pastry a second time, and even "scratch" the top a little for a nice effect after baking.
