| preparing the Camembert before baking - infused with rosemary and chilli |
I have got one of these fancy ceramic cheese baker things - but you can also prepare this in any oven proof cooking dish. It's best to use one that fits the Camembert as snugly as possible as you don't want the cheese oozing all over the place.
There are so many variations to the recipe - play around with your favourite flavours. It would be good too baked with some slivers of garlic and a splash of white wine, or a fruity chutney instead of the chilli jam - it would be particularly good with some cranberry sauce too.
I hope you give this a go and let me know how you get on. I look forward to hearing from you...
recipe by: Ema at De Tout Coeur Limousin
preparation time: 5 minutes
cooking time: 20 minutes
ingredients:
1 Camembert (or similar - you could use a brie or coulommiers)
a few rosemary sprigs
1 tbsp chilli jam (I used my own recipe - but a shop-bought sweet chilli sauce or jam would work well too)
- preheat the oven to 180c/gas mark 4
- put the Camembert in an oven proof dish
- make a few holes with a sharp knife and push in the rosemary sprigs
- add a tbsp of chilli jam, cover with a lid or oven-proof foil
- bake for about 20 minutes until the cheese is soft and oozing.
- serve immediately with crusty bread for dunking - bon appetit!

So love Camembert cheese! This looks amazing. All the best ~ denise
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise - definitely a favourite of ours too - but so many different cheeses to try here in France :-)
DeleteI have never tasted Camembert cheese before. That Rosemary must give it a more savory flavor. I cannot imagine what Chili Jam tastes like.
ReplyDeleteThe chilli jam has the flavour of a sweet chilli sauce - but a bit spicier and thicker consistency.
DeleteI havent tasted Camembert before but now after seeing this, I have to try! I could imagine the aroma and flavor after putting those spices. Yum!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think. Do you have any favourite cheese recipes?
DeleteCannot imagine what chilli jam could taste like !! I've never heard of it BEFROE :p but your recipe seems pretty fool-proof!
ReplyDeleteIt's so simple but delicious. The chilli jam is hot spicy and sweet too with a nice garlic flavour also. The recipe is on my blog too :-)
DeleteCurious on trying out this recipe. :) Soon.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you do and how you get on. Thanks for your comments
DeleteAwesome recipe but first time to hear this food. Is it Italian? Your ingredients is not the available or the same in the Philippines.
ReplyDeleteIt's a French cheese and I made the chilli jam myself. The recipe is my own so not really from any country but inspired by my travels and favourite flavours. What is a favourite recipe of yours from the Phillipines?
DeleteI think the camembert cheese would really create a nice mix with the chili. This would definitely be a delight for the taste buds.
ReplyDeleteI love chilli and my jam is not too hot and spicy and mellows with the cheese.
DeleteHaven't tried and tasted something like this before. Hope the ingredients are available here at our location.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and your comments. Let me know if you try it :-)
DeleteCorrect me if I'm wrong... but I realised for Christmas, rosemary, cranberry, cinnamon are often used in the festive dinners...I just had camembert cheese few days back!
ReplyDeleteLovely festive flavours - love cinnamon and cranberrys too. Cinnamon is great added to a cranberry sauce.
DeleteWow. Thanks for sharing this recipe.. It looks really delicious <3
ReplyDeleteThanks so much - its a lovely treat - and great for the festive season!
Deletethis looks so mouth watering <3 thank you for sharing the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much - you are very welcome :)
DeleteWith all honesty, it is my first time to hear about Camembert and a chilli jam. How can a jam be chilli? Seriously? I really wonder what it takes like. But the photo you've provided is really mouthwatering.
ReplyDeleteIt tastes like a sweet chilli sauce - spicy and sweet - like a Thai or Chinese flavour and I make my own jam - but you can use shop bought. It sounds strange maybe but does work - cheese is often paired with sweet flavours :-) Thanks for your comments
DeleteI am not sure I am skilled enough to try something like this, but it looks amazing! I can imagine it would taste yummy!
ReplyDeleteIt is so simple - just follow the instructions - if you need any help/tips let me know :-)
DeleteMy goodness, this is a brilliant recipe and it has rosemary in it too. It must taste divine! I can imagine the blend of flavors; sweet and tart. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a lovely combination. Thanks for your lovely comments :-)
DeleteThe Camembert looks divine! Will surely try my hand at the recepie!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much - let me know how you get on :-)
DeleteI love baked Camembert. Haven't tried it with chilli jam though, will have to give it a go x
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it x
DeleteNever heard of this dish before but it definitely sounds interesting. Would love to try it over the weekend :)
ReplyDeleteBaked camembert is quite common - but it's my recipe to add the chilli jam and rosemary. Let me know if you give it a go :)
DeleteFor some reason I'd never thought of serving this with a buffet supper, only ever as a starter. You've inspired me for a Christmas evening addition! Obviously we'll all need more calories then won't we?! ;) Thanks for linking to #festivefoodfriday.
ReplyDeleteWill definitely contribute to our festive calorie intake ;) glad to take part in #festivefoodfriday
DeleteWow, what an unusual combination of tastes. Judging by the look of the photos that are so mouth watering, it was a good combination after all. A great idea to try something new and challenging to my senses.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments - I hope you give it a try too :)
DeleteAh it looks so so good. I need to make this soon! Thanks for sharing with me :) xx
