Takes minutes to pull together and is the perfect opening to any meal!
Servings 6
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.
