equipment

  • small mixing bowl
  • round baking dish optional

ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup walnuts toasted and chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves chopped
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt
  • 8 oz wheel of camembert cheese
  • toasted sliced of French bread or crackers

instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Stir to combine. Fold in the cranberries, walnuts, thyme, and salt.
  • Flip the camembert so the bottom is on top (where the rind comes together). Using a sharp knife, remove the top rind of the cheese. Place the camembert cut side up in an oven-safe round baking dish (like a larger crème brûlée dishes). You can also use the wood container the cheese came in as the baking vessel!
  • Cover the top of the cheese with the cranberry walnut topping in an even layer.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until gooey. Serve immediately with toasted slices of French bread or crackers.
