Sweet Baby Cheesus

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...


*angels sing*


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.

    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

    ReplyDelete

  85. This. 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.

    I 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!

  132. I 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!
