    How to Make Baked Camembert with Walnut Crumble and Ginger Marmalade

    1. Preheat the Oven

    Begin by preheating your oven to a temperature that will transform your dish into a masterpiece.

    2. Toast the Walnuts

    Toast a handful of walnuts in a pan over medium heat until they’re fragrant, then let them cool to room temperature.

    3. Prepare the Walnut Crumble

    Combine the cooled walnuts with butter, flour, and a touch of sugar to form a crumbly texture.

    4. Wrap the Camembert

    Lay out the puff pastry, place the Camembert in the center, top it with walnut crumble, and wrap the pastry around the cheese.

    5. Bake the Camembert

    Transfer the wrapped cheese to a gratin dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the pastry turns golden.

    6. Cool and Serve

    Allow the baked Camembert to cool slightly before serving with ginger marmalade.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Camembert Selection

    Choose a Camembert that is ripe but not overly runny. The cheese should give slightly when pressed but should not be too firm.

    Rest Period

    Allow the Camembert to rest for about 5 minutes after baking. This ensures the cheese remains luscious and doesn’t spill everywhere.

    Ginger Marmalade Balance

    Balance the ginger marmalade with a hint of acidity, such as a splash of lemon juice or a touch of apple cider vinegar.

    Walnut Crumble

    Toast the walnuts lightly before using them in the crumble for added flavor. Allow them to cool before mixing; this prevents the crumble from becoming greasy.

    Pre-heat Properly

    Ensure your oven is pre-heated to the recommended temperature for even baking. If your oven has hotspots, consider rotating the cheese halfway through baking.
