Mont d’Or cheese
1

White wine
-
Small shaped pasta
150g

Lardons (Bacon)
50g

Shallots

White Kampot Pepper
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, sauté the chopped shallots in a pan until they are tender and lightly golden.
In the same pan, fry the lardons until golden brown. Set aside.
Remove the top rind of the Mont d’Or and make a small hole in the surface of the cheese. Pour some white wine into the hole and add freshly ground or crushed White Kampot Pepper to the cheese.
Place the Mont d’Or in an oven-safe dish. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the Mont d’Or from the oven. Add the cooked pasta, shallots, and lardons, and combine well. Add more pepper to taste.
Serve hot, dipping your spoon in the melted cheese.
