I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. It is a traditional recipe from Savoy in the French Alps. Perfect for the cold weather but a tasty treat any time of the year. You don’t need a heavy side so that is why I suggest a light salad with a drop of olive oil as it is quite heavy. You will still end up scoffing the lot though! It never lasts long. If you do happen to have some left over, it tastes even better the next day. It can be eaten cold and still tastes great but I just love the heated version with melted cheese. Wow!
