Hi PeakD,

I’ve had this sat in my freezer since it came out in December for M&S’ Festive Food Collection, and I finally got round to having it. I love cheese and I couldn’t wait to dig in… and begrudgingly share!!

M&S Molten Mountain Cheese Bake

”A luxurious and delicious cheese sauce made with Gruyere, Comté and Emmental. Topped with roasted onions, bacon lardons and chunks of Raclette cheese. The Perfect molten cheese fondue for sharing."

I love melted cheese so I was really looking forward to dig in to this cheese pot. The first thing I noticed was the smell of wine when it came out of the oven. I mean you could really smell it. The cheese was hot and very molten. Quite runny to begin with. I didn’t have this with crusty bread or roasted new potatoes as suggested. I had this with cool flavour tortilla chips and southern fried chicken fillets. I definitely would have had bread as bread and cheese are a match made in heaven. As I was having donuts later, I didn’t want to be too podged out on bread. It did go really well with the tortilla chips and the chicken, It was really nice. It was very cheesy as one would expect, but I didn’t expect such large pieces of onion all the way through it. At first, I thought the ones I had were mushroom, but there was no mushroom in the ingredients. Then towards the end I had loads of bacon lardons. I would have preferred this without the onion and bacon though.

This was nice, but would I have it again? I’m not so sure. Far too much onion and bacon in this. I would have preferred it as just loads of different cheeses. The wine flavour and the garlic was nice too, but next time I think I’d rather make my own.
