Baked Mont d'Or cheese with white wine and shallots is the ultimate indulgence for French cheese lovers. This rich, creamy cheese softens to perfection in the oven, infused with the earthy flavours of thyme, garlic, and a splash of Jura wine. Perfect for sharing, this warm, melty cheese pairs beautifully with roast potatoes, a fresh salad, and crusty bread for dipping.

👩‍🍳 Pairing Ideas to Perfect Your Mont d'Or Experience

To fully enjoy the Mont d'Or, try serving it with cornichons or a selection of light charcuterie—both add a pleasant contrast to the creamy cheese. For wine pairings, go for a nutty Jura Vin Jaune or a more floral, honeyed Roussette de Savoie—these wines cut through the richness of the cheese and make the experience even more enjoyable.

Preparación

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Peel the garlic and shallot, then cut the shallot into quarters.

Using a sharp knife, make a circular incision in the top of the cheese. Use a small spoon or spatula to carefully remove the top layer of the rind. Insert the garlic clove and shallot pieces into the cheese. Pour the white wine over the top, and sprinkle with thyme.

Bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted. For the last 3 minutes, switch the oven to grill to create a crispy top.

Serve with roasted Grenaille potatoes, a fresh salad, and slices of farmhouse bread.
