Rustic Irish Braised Cheese Skillet

Assemble the ingredients: cheese, onion, bay leaf, potato, black pepper, olive oil, flour.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the cheese and cook until braised.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Irish flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Irish accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
