Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Prepare 700 g polenta the usual way.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

When it is ready, add 250 g Mont d'or cheese in pieces. The best way is to take spoonfuls straight from the box.

Cover and leave to rest for 10 minutes.

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.
