03 — Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Take the Mont d'Or out of the fridge 30 minutes before baking.
Cut a cross in the top.
Push the garlic slivers into the cuts.
Pour over the white wine and season with pepper.
Close the spruce box with its lid and wrap in foil.
Bake for 25 minutes: the cheese should be runny.
Meanwhile, boil potatoes in their skins.
Serve in the middle of the table: everyone dips potatoes, cured meats and bread straight into the box.
