Baked Camembert En Croute
This is a killer recipe. If you have never tried it, save it for a special occasion as you will simply HAVE to eat the entire thing. It is sooo delicious toasty and melty straight from the oven, though do try and refrain from burning the roof of your mouth with lava hot cheese. (You have been warned!)
This recipe appears in the original and the best For Food's Sake cookbook, still available in my store for next to nothing!
