Jun 11 2025

At Sodiaal we have our ear to the ground in listening out for the latest trends in French cuisine. As a culinary artform, French cooking is amongst the best in the world; constantly raising standards and bringing new flavours, textures and ideas to the dinner table. When the core ingredient is one of the most globally renowned – a wonderful range of French cheeses – then it makes the job of the skilled chefs so much easier. But still we like to push the boundaries every year, and so here we can bring to you some of the best recipes of 2025 involving French cheese.

From savoury snacks and indulgent treats to lavish dishes and sweet finales, our recipes have brought together all the culinary skills required to get the very best out of French cheeses. So sit back, have a look and see if you can bring these sumptuous flavours to your table:

Mont Brie Bleu Hasselback Potatoes

This dish showcases the wonderful simplicity of Mont Brie Bleu, and in truth you could substitute other French cheeses also. The art of the Hasselback potato is in how you cut it, get this right and the rest takes care of itself. Lavishly oiled potatoes and garlic roast for 40 minutes before adding the cheese slices on top, and you are left with a mouthwatering dish which oozes rustic charm.

Spinach & Tomme Dorée des Pyrénées waffles

Making waffles is always great fun with the kids, and add the subtle ingredients of wilted spinach and Tomme Dorée cheese and you have a savoury treat for any age. Here we also make a whipped cream with grated cheese to pipe over the waffles at the end, providing a delicate balance of flavours which works a treat.

Sharing stuffed baguette with Tomme de Savoie

Here we have the classic combination of bread and cheese, but with skill and adoration applied to make a succulent lunch time dish. Hollowed out baguettes are filled with a mixture of pan-fried bacon and shallots, cream, eggs, chives and cheese. Baked in an oven until the unmistakable flavours of toasted cheese emerges, the end result is simple and sensational. 

Bethmale, courgette & coppa ham pasta

This is a one-pot wonder made like a risotto, with ladles of stock cooking the pasta which is already combined with white wine and cream. Add in some shallots and courgettes and you have a rich tasting dish into which you add some grated Bethmale and coppa ham at the end for a perfect blend of flavours and textures. 

Pesto Madeleines with Abondance

Madeleines are fancy, bite-sized French butter cakes which are perfect as an entrée to a more lavish French meal. The cakes are really simple to make from a batter which also contains pesto and grated Abondance cheese. Don’t be afraid to add more cheese on top also to really add a flavoursome punch.
