Shira of Petit Pois made Oeufs en Cocotte for a light supper with leftover slow cooked onions and eggs, then sprinkled with shredded Gruyère. The result was savory little gratin crowned with delicious, golden cheese. What a great looking dish!

Creamy and rich Grès des Vosges sounds amazing! Chelly from Rolling in Dough happily tasted this Kirsch infused, French cheese from Alsace. A glass of Gewurztraminer and some slices of baguette alongside made a perfect snack.

Little discs of chèvre wrapped in bacon and pan fried until the bacon is crispy and the cheese has warmed and is starting to ooze a bit? Well, it just doesn't get much better than that.Camille of Croque Camille recently discovered this French convenience food called Fournée au Chèvre and is, not surprisingly, thoroughly smitten!

My entry to La Fête is the smoky and nutty flavored Trappe Echourgnac. This delicious French cheese is matured in walnut liqueur from the Périgord and produced by nuns at the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Bonne Espérance (our Lady of Good Hope) in the Dordogne.

Thanks again for putting this together. Definitely gives me some good ideas for my next trip to the market.
Happy Holidays!
Great post Loulou..I love the sound of the bacon wrapped goats cheese!
I am not a big lover of smoked cheeses but I am very pleased that you enjoyed it..Keep them coming.
Oh, great idea. I'll be back for the 15th of January. I love cheese.
Thanks for another great spread.
Bacon wrapped goat cheese? Good god.
Shira
You are very welcome! Thank you for taking the time to join in.
Bonnes fêtes!

I've had that bacon wrapped goat cheese before and it is delicious. The smoky Trappe Echourgnac is really nice. You should try a small sliver if you ever have the chance. You just might change your mind about smoked cheese.

Great! I look forward to seeing what cheese you share with us.

Thank you for another great Italian cheese. I've added it to my list of cheeses to try the next time I get to Italy.

Exactly! :)
Quel dommage! I missed Fete du Fromage this past month and I actually had some photos and fond memories of a delicious cheese to share with you. I shall blog it up soon for the January fete. In the meantime, Joyeux Noel to you and all the other cheese devotees out there!

I'm sorry that you missed it! I'll look forward to seeing it in January.
Hope you're enjoying the holidays!
