CLASSIC BAKED CAMEMBERT
Camembert baked in its box is the ultimate indulgence. It becomes gorgeous and oozy and it’s fantastic on a cold winter’s evening. Serve with sourdough bread, steamed small potatoes to dip into the melted cheese, and some fresh veges like green beans or slender stem broccoli. Whichever way you choose, this baked camembert is a crowd pleaser.
