This decadent cheesy cob dish is brilliant for sharing. Made with wine, cheddar cheese, gruyere cheese and crème fraiche it is super tasty, serve bubbling hot!

  • 1 cob loaf
  • 50ml white wine
  • 500g grated cheddar cheese
  • 500g grated gruyere cheese
  • 100ml crème fraiche
  • Salt and pepper
For the salad and dressing:
  • 50g salad leaves

  • 1 tsp Dijon
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of water (approx.)

Method

Pre heat the oven to 220ºC.

Cut a slice from the top of the bread and set aside. Hollow out the insides of the loaf so you are left with a hollow cob.
