I'm warning you now, you don't need to know this exists.
Seriously, look away now.
Go on.
Ok cheeky, don't say you weren't warned.
If you're still with me, get ready to meet the messiah of all starters/snacks.
A baked camembert, bathed in apricot, swaddled in flakey croissant pastry.
Crack open the outer layer to reveal the molten, gooey, cheesy centre...
Best of all? It's even easier than Slutty Brownies, the little minx!
You need:
1 can of croissant dough.
1 camembert.
And some apricot jam.
Simply crack open your croissants.
Roll them out flat, removing one croisant triangle from each end.
Spread with about a tablespoon of jam.
Pop your cheese on top, add a little more jam.
Fold over one side, wrapping it up nicely.
Fold over the other, sealing all the gaps.
Pop it onto a baking tray (also throw on the discarded croisant dough).
And bake at 200°C/390°F for 10-15mins until perfectly bronzed.
Serve with cheese dunking implements (apparently also known as 'fruit').
Enjoy!
I'd love to tell you I made this for a fancy-pants dinner party... but I didn't.
I made it for my mum & I.
We ate it with big glasses of wine & watched Bridesmaids.
Complete and utter bliss, on a plate.
Utterly simple, hardly any washing up, hands down one of the best things I've ever eaten.

ReplyDeleteIf blogging ever stops funding your amazing fashion sense, let me know. I'll hire you as my chef!
YUM!
ReplyDeleteIt's 9am here and I am now considering eating this for breakfast.
You used croissant pastry so technically this COULD be considered a breakfast item, right?
I hate/love you for that!
ReplyDeleteNeeeeeeed...sooooooome...cheeeeeeeseee. NOW!!
perfect - I had one with my mum a few weeks ago but there was no croissant involved - gonna have to try this one next...
ReplyDeleteThankfifi
Happy cheesy weekend to you!
Oh. My. God.

ReplyDeleteI think I just fell in love and I am starting to feel the butterflies in my stomach...
ReplyDeleteWait...no, it's hunger!
I am off to the supermarket :D
My God this looks amazing! Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteBravo. Bravo indeed.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, wow. I should have not looked after the warning as this has made me so so hungry! Actually tempted to do this right now - just need to go to the shop for ingredients first. Mmmm.
ReplyDeletechelseyxlou.blogspot.co.uk xo
You were right. I should have stopped in the beginning when you gave the order.
ReplyDeleteWow.
Oh dear… thank you! Earlier today whilst procrastinating trying to write an essay I came across this wonderful recipe, I proceeded to quickly convince myself making and eating this was way more important than any uni work, ran out of the library to our on-campus shop… no croissant dough! Gutted, but bought some nice camembert and all the ingredients to make my own, and am proud to say I am about to go and attempt this myself. Thank you! :D
ReplyDeleteWOW what at brilliant idea! Loved it :)
ReplyDeleteThe reason I love you and your blog so much is because you introduce me to all kinds of new and delicious foods, things I've never even heard of, let alone seeing them. This giant rock I've been living under is getting awfully heavy! Thanks, Rose!

What a clever idea! Looks absolutely delicious - perfect for impromptu entertaining.
ReplyDeleteRose (or anyone who has made this) - PLEASE help me! Usually I go for baked cheeses with wine added to add that full-flavour savoury goodness. How does it work with the jam???
ReplyDeleteYours faithfully

Your recipes never fail to amaze but with this one you've knocked it out of the park! If I didn't have my pj's on already I'd be down to the shops to buy a months' supply of ingredients...you know, er...just in case it snows again...?!

I don't like cheese (I only eat the fake velveeta/american kind or queso blanco) but this looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteuhmm.....YUM! i'm drooling, actually :)
ReplyDeleteHoly Crap. I'm in love.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things to make... Also roasted macadamia nuts on top of the apricot glaze is quiet delectable.
ReplyDeleteNever baked a brie in croissant dough before - utter genius!
ReplyDeleteThis. Looks. Incredible. I ADORE baked camembert and it is my favourite guilty pleasure! ... well that's actually quite a bold statement, it's up there in the top 5 for sure.
ReplyDeleteI like to drizzle honey over mine, but I am definitely trying this next time... which after this post, I'm sure will be veeeery soon. Jam & pastry with my beloved camembert, who'da thought, it's genius!
Thanks Rosie, incredible tips as always.

My mum and her boyfriend of 8 years recently decided to go their seperate ways. I'm heading home in a week during half term to spend a bit of much needed time with her... this, I think, will have to be made (if I can find gluten free pastry).

ReplyDeleteMade this yesterday for my guy friends whilst watching the rugby with puff pastry rather than croissant and it won me a lot of points! delicious!

Oh my, this looks amazing, it is impossible to find croissant dough here in Australia. Anyway I am hooked on your blog. I've basically got the whole dentistry faculty at uni hooked as well :)
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I are massive cheese fiends and this would be a perfect surprise treat : ) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter made this yesterday. it was FABULOUS. I wish i didn't know it existed.
ReplyDeleteRose, thank you for sharing this amazing recipy - I tried making this today, but for some reason the bottom of the pastry and the top, where it was wrapped, didn't get baked at all. Cheese all melty, side croissants were also baked and all the other sides were brown and crispy. Do you know what I could have done wrong? :(
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible. Keep the great idea's coming!
ReplyDeleteMM
First time I come to visit your blog. I do really enjoyed watching the photos in this post and the recipe is really very very good indeed. Thanks for sharing it. ;)

ReplyDeleteI tried it yesterday! It was really good, except I didn't get a molten, gooey, cheesy centre... I can't really explain why, maybe it was because of my poor quality of camembert. I am gonna try again!! Thanks anyway for this great recipe, very easy and nice!
