Époisses de Bourgogne - hot fondue

This recipe is a glorious way to get your cheese 'fix'.

Normally I would wrap the cheese in tin-foil and pop it back in the carton. This prevents the cheese from running everywhere when hot but this time I thought it would be nice to wrap in filo pastry to serve the same purpose. It worked very well, much better than tin-foil as the melted cheese has to be scraped off the if it is not to be wasted. With the filo pastry, it can just be eaten as is!

Following the instructions on the filo pastry it got a little burnt unfortunately. In future I would bake at 190° C (375° F - gas 5) for 20 minutes but in the bottom half of the oven.
