I discovered that we already had hint to the origin of this recipe on our [[Vacherin cheese]] page. However, a recent reading of [[The Extraordinary Cookbook]] finally brought it to my attention.

I have substituted the marvellous [[Pié d'Angloys cheese]] for the [[Vacherin]] used in Stefan's recipe as it is available all year round and is as ridiculously cheap as it gorgeous. If you want to try the original, [[Vacherin cheese]] is usually available from August and end of March. I believe it is available in the UK from Waitrose during this period. [[Époisses de Bourgogne]] is another excellent candidate for this recipe.

You could of course try this with more than one [[Cheese|cheese]], but that would be greedy, wouldn't it?

===Serving suggestions===
Break the top of the hot cheese open, sit the [[Cheese|cheese]] in the middle of the table and surround it with your friends, lots of plates, napkins and things to [[Dip|dip]] into the cheese
===Chef's note===
I couldn't get [[Pié d'Angloys cheese]] the day I made this so I used what was available from a very limited selection of cheeses at our local supermarket. This was so good - I would try it with any of your favourite cheeses!
