    This was absolutely fantastc, easy to make and perfect comfort food. The only negative is the calorific value!! But it is very rich so a little does go a long way, I would say that this recipe could feed 6 if you served with with some salad or vegetables.

    I have French in-laws and they recommend using white wine instead of cream. I find the cream too strong and overpowers the taste of the cheese. It always works a treat at party time. Forget the calories.

    I have made this lots but must admit to always feeling very guilty over the number of cals and the amount of sat fat! I will try the wine tip next time. Fantastic!

    Try using Creme freche instead of cream, I stayed in a chalet in the French Alps recently and this is what the chef did there and it was amazing.

    I don't agree that this can be made with brie - it has to be reblochon in my opinion! You can get it from most Waitrose. I doubled the amount of bacon (if you're going to give yourself a heart attack you should do it properly). Absolutely delicious!

    Oh this was to die for... so good, i have never seen my family clear their plates so quickly. I made this with Reblechon and also added 100ml of dry white wine but left the cream quantity as it was but used light double cream and it was absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to have this again.

    This was fantastic. Yes it was calorific but hey, once in a while it is nice to indulge. Easy to do and so yummy. Even my husband who can be fussy gave it the thumbs up. I went back for seconds it was so nice. Definitely a recipe I will do again and again. Highly recommended. I decided to do this recipe as my husband had forbidden me to spend too much on the housekeeping so trying to reduce my budget and not buy too much meat, had this instead to feed two hungry men and myself. There was enough for seconds, but they were so full up from the first course I had the rest for my lunch the next day. I served this very rustically with baked beans and fried tomatoes.

    Had this a load of times in the Alps, my chalet host recommneded the following. Fry onions and bacon lardons, when well cooked, turn the heat down and add some garlic and cook until soft and cooked, but the garlic is not too brown. Add a glass of white wine near the end and allow to bubble and evaporate Peel the spuds and cook in chicken stock (good cube!) I slice before cooking. Drain and allow to cool. Reserve the stock if you like and reduce to a cupfull and add a 284ml pack of creme fraiche or just add some milk to the creme to loosen it a bit Take half your cheese and cube it smallish, less than 1cm Layer potato, bacon mix and cubed cheese Pour over the creme fraiche and milk/stock and place the rest of the cheese on top - slice the cheese and try and cover the potatoes Then cook a described - service with pickles (little onions and gerkins etc) and a varety of dried meats. A little green salad is nice too

    I love the sound of this but wonder if it could be made with a more ordinary cheese eg cheddar, grated? And what ways could the calorie count be cut down a bit? Is creme fraiche less calorific than cream? Sorry a novice here just trying to get into cooking ;-)

    No SharonK. For it to be authentic, it has to be Reblochon. Mine is now in the oven..... can't wait. However, we have used creme fraiche which has less calories than double cream.
