A Baked Camembert For Christmas

Baked Camembert is a really lovely Christmassy kind of dish that is delicious with loads of crusty bread! Tis the season to be naughty and I can’t think of a better way! Here’s how to make it…

Here are the ingredients:

  • a small eating apple
  • 25g flaked almonds
  • 25g cranberries
  • 2 tablespoon light soft brown sugar
  • 2/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 25g butter or margarine, melted
  • 2 round of Camembert cheese (approx 250g)
  • a crusty baguette
  • Method:
    Preheat the oven to 280 degrees / gas mark 4.
    Chop the apple, discarding the core. Dice the apple as small as possible then combine it with the almonds, cranberries, brown sugar and cinnamon into a small bowl.
    Add the melted butter and stir so all ingredients are moist.
    Cut the Camembert in half horizontally. Place one half – rind side down – onto a baking tray. Spoon half the apple mixture onto this half of the cheese ensuring it is evenly spread.
    Top with the remaining half of Camembert – rind side up. Put the remaining apple mixture on top.
    Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the cheese is soft and just starts to melt. Serve with crusty bread!
