Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (392°F). This temperature is key for achieving the perfect baked Camembert.
Step 2
Take the wheel of Camembert cheese out of its packaging. To enhance the flavor during baking, make several cuts or slashes on the top of the cheese. This allows it to melt beautifully while baking.
Step 3
Place the prepared Camembert cheese in an oven-safe dish and bake it in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes. You will know it’s done when the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Step 4
While the cheese is baking, mix the cranberry sauce with orange zest for a refreshing taste. Slice the toasted baguette into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
Once baked, remove the Camembert from the oven and serve it immediately with the cranberry sauce and toasted baguette. Don't forget to pour yourself a glass of sparkling wine to complement the dish!
Servings
Bring extra joy to your brunch table with this deliciously baked Camembert. Serve it with thinly sliced baguette to soak up all that divine melted cheese. 🌟
For a touch of sweetness, drizzle the Camembert with the contrasting cranberry orange sauce and watch your guests delight in the vibrant colors and flavors! Pair this dish with crisp sparkling wine for an unforgettable experience. 🍾✨
Don’t forget to add some fresh fruit slices like apples or pears on the side for a refreshing crunch. Keep everyone coming back for seconds!
Equipment
Preheat it to ensure even cooking. A reliable oven thermometer can help you check the exact temperature, preventing over- or under-cooking.

Faq
- Q: What is the best cheese to use for baking?
A: Camembert is ideal due to its creamy texture, but Brie works just as well for a similar result!
- Q: How do I know when the cheese is done baking?
A: Look for a golden crust on top and a soft, gooey center when you gently press on it.
- Q: Can I prepare the dish in advance?
A: You can slice the cheese and prepare the sauce ahead of time, but bake the cheese right before serving for best results!
- Q: What can I serve as sides?
A: Fresh fruits, nuts, and an assortment of crackers or vegetables make fantastic accompaniments!
- Q: Can I use this recipe for a larger group?
A: Absolutely! Just use multiple cheeses and set them up on a platter for sharing!
- Q: How do I ensure perfect flavor fusion?
A: Make shallow cuts in the cheese prior to baking; this allows the sauce to seep in and creates a burst of flavor!
