  • 8 oz Reblochon cheese, sliced
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice potatoes 1/4-inch thick; don't peel.

    Butter a 9-inch baking dish. Layer half the potatoes, then half the bacon-onion mixture.

    Arrange Reblochon slices over the top. Pour cream evenly across the surface.
