Good to know

Chef's tip

Take the Camembert out of the fridge 15 min before baking for more even melting 🧀.
If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with parchment paper.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Baked Camembert does not freeze well; the texture turns grainy and oily after thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Best eaten right away. The texture of the cheese deteriorates quickly after baking.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Prepare the walnut halves and the rosemary. The Camembert is assembled just before baking.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

The Camembert turns very oily and the texture grainy. If necessary, a low oven (120°C) for a few minutes, just to warm it, no more than 5 minutes.

Variations

Put the Camembert back in its wooden box or in a small baking dish.
Serve immediately with bread.
Add a light grind of pepper.

Mistakes to avoid

Forgetting to remove the plastic wrapping: take it off before putting the Camembert back in the box.
Not scoring it: score the top in a crosshatch pattern.
Taking it out too early: the center should be nice and gooey.
