Camembert

[Ltdannygreen]

So we were watching Something the other day when I announced I had never tried Camembert, DP has brought some as he insists I should try it. So tell me am I in for a treat or is it overrated... and any possible suggestion as to what to have with it would be great 😃

Baked in the oven with crusty french Bread to dip (I like to use the part bake rolls) Needs nothing additionally, perfect

Stick in rosemary, garlic and drizzle with honey before roasting.

It's like a stronger version of Brie. Keep it out of the fridge for a few days if you like your cheese stinky ripe.

It's overrated. It tastes like feet.

I would pierce a few holes in the top, slot in some chopped garlic, some rosemary and a glug of white wine, then bake in the oven and enjoy with some charcuterie meat and crusty bread. You’ll not go back

I fuckin love Camembert

I love it! Baked in the oven, cranberry sauce on top, warmed up french stick bread dunked in 🤤

It can taste like fit but in a really lovely way.
If it’s whole bake it and drizzle the honey on after, have it with a warm baguette.
If it’s not whole, make sure it’s brought up to room temp before you eat it.
Lush!

I like to bake in oven with garlic, rosemary and honey and then dip pigs in blankets in it

@quarentini oooft stop it 😂

@TheCrow it's so dirty but so good.
My secret Christmas treat

I love nothing more than a baked Camembert with red onion chutney & crusty bread 😍 enjoy!

Its not for me, it tastes like bitter old feet.

I love camembert.

Cut some slits in to the top and insert garlic, rosemary.

Drizzle olive oil.

Bake for 20ish mins

Serve with tiger bread and mango chutney

Omg! I might have to try this...it sounds pure filth

My favourite Christmas treat!

Fancy bread sticks and cranberry sauce to dip in or get the ones from the supermarkets with the bread around it. Bake it with garlic slices popped in and a little oil. Bloody fantastic.

I have a ceramic Camembert baker thing I was bought as a gift.

Do I take the cheese out if it's little wooden crate before I put it in the baker? Then once it's cooked, do you slice the top off or just break through it?

Also, last silly question...If you don't eat it all, can you keep it to eat cold or do you throw it away?

@Chimchar just eat it all. I tend to cut a cross in the top once it's cooked and peel the rind back.

I put a cross in the top before baking then peel these back to dip in hot crusty bread. Also excellent with warm onion chutney.

I have 2 in the fridge I was saving for Christmas but I’m now going to have one for lunch. I love baked Camembert.

Love this thread. I've only had it when out and at other houses, so any help will be appreciated- do I bake in the wooden pot? Also at tesco yesterday I noticed camemberts and baking camemberts - do I need a baking camembert to bake or will just a camembert do?
Drooling at the suggestions on here 🤤

Sounds delicious. Do you serve one cheese per person or is it a sharing dish?

You don't have to cook the thing, just eat it like normal cheese with some crusty bread or crackers.

@AvoidingRealHumans Get the baking one, they usually come in a pot, bloody lovely.

Yum

I make my own pizza, cranberry sauce, chicken pieces and Camembert on top yum yum yum
