Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 25 min.
Prepare all the vegetables: rinse and dry them (except the mushrooms) and dice small, apart from the shallot which should be chopped finely.

Stage 6 - 2 min.
Put the cheese you as you remove it into a microwave-proof bowl.
Heat the cheese in the microwave until just melted. This is best done in several short bursts on maximum power, stirring each time.
If you don't have a microwave, melt the cheese in a pan on very low heat, stirring frequently.

Stage 7 - 1 min.
Tip the vegetables into the melted cheese and mix well.
Stage 8 - 2 min.
Refill the Mont d'Or with the cheese and vegetable mixture.

Put the "lid" back on the Mont d'Or and bake for about 20 minutes until the top is browned.
Serve piping hot with the cheese still in its box so that everyone can dig in with a spoon.
