WOW! This was truly delicious! This requires some skill to flip, but even if you have trouble (I did), simply cut it into six smaller pieces and continue to cook until crisp & brown on each side - it was really a treat. I was able to get the Vacherin cheese and I am very glad I made the extra effort to find it - it is really a wonderful flavorful,rich cheese. My family devoured this and begged for more. Certainly too rich for every day, but worth every single calorie.
