Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Camembert and Fruits

Start by prepping your ingredients. Slice the figs and cut the plum in half. For the Camembert, you can either remove the top rind or score the top with a crisscross pattern. This will help the cheese to melt nicely in the oven.

Next, arrange the Camembert, sliced figs, halved plum, and whole grapes in a baking dish.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the cheese and fruits, then sprinkle with the dried herbs and chopped nuts.

Step 2

Prepare the Croutons

Next, slice the baguette into pieces suitable for croutons. Place the slices in a separate baking dish.

Brush the slices generously with butter and sprinkle them with dried herbs for added flavor.

Step 3

Bake the Dish

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Place both the baking dish with the Camembert and the croutons in the oven.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the croutons are golden brown.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, remove the dishes from the oven. If desired, drizzle some honey over the melted Camembert for a sweet touch.

Serve warm and enjoy this delightful appetizer with the crispy croutons for dipping.

Servings

✨ Serve this baked Camembert warm and ooey-gooey, paired generously with a side of crunchy croutons for dipping! 🎉✨ Imagine cozy evenings where you gather around a table, sharing stories and laughter while spreading melty cheese on crisp bread. It’s a treat meant for sharing! 🍞❤️

If you want to take it a notch higher, create a charcuterie board with some cured meats, olives, and a selection of your favorite crackers. The mixtures of flavors will amaze your guests, and trust me, they will love the combination of sweet and savory! 🧀🍇

Equipment

Oven

Faq

  • What type of cheese should I use for this recipe?

    Camembert cheese is ideal because it melts beautifully. Brie can work as a great alternative if you can’t find Camembert!

  • Can I add other fruits?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with your favorite fruits like pears, apples, or even dried fruits for a twist.

  • What if I don’t have dried herbs?

    You can use fresh herbs as well! Thyme and rosemary pair wonderfully with cheese and fruits.

  • Can I use a microwave instead of an oven?

    While a microwave can work, the oven gives your Camembert that perfect golden crust and texture. It’s worth the wait!

  • How can I prevent the cheese from spilling out?

    Scoring the top of the Camembert properly enables it to melt without overflowing. Just make sure to score in a criss-cross pattern!

  • Can I make this dish ahead of time?

    You can prep all your ingredients a few hours in advance, but bake it just before serving for that hot, melty experience!
