Camembert is a delicious French cheese with a white, pleasant crust and a soft, buttery center. If you haven't tried it yet, serve Camembert raw, along with jam, bread, or crackers. Camembert can also be reheated in the oven or grill, or added to your favorite meals.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Raw Camembert Cheese

1. 1 Leave the cheese on the table to warm up to room temperature. Camembert tastes better at room temperature than chilled in the refrigerator. Remove the cheese from the refrigerator 30 minutes before eating to allow it to warm up.
2. 2 Slice the cheese into triangles. To cut the camembert, cut it into the same slices as the pizza. Take a cheese knife and cut the camembert, starting in the center.
   • The blade of such a knife is covered with holes so that the cheese does not stick to it. If you don't have a cheese knife, use any sharp knife.
3. 3 Try the crust to see if you like it. Camembert's crust is edible, but it can have a fairly strong flavor. Whether or not the crust is with the cheese is up to you, so taste it.
   • Try a bite with and without a crust.
   • If you don't like the crust, cut it off and eat only the middle.
4. 4 Try camembert with crackers or bread and jam or honey. Cut the cheese into pieces and use a knife to spread it over a cracker or a slice of French bread. Eat it like this, or add some honey or jam on top.
   • Try spreading some jam or your favorite preserves like raspberry, cherry, fig, or apricot.
   • Instead of jam, you can add a slice of fresh peach, pear or apple.
5. 5 Eat the cheese within a few days after you cut the crust. Although Camembert can still be eaten, the taste will begin to deteriorate after you cut the crust. The crust acts as a protective barrier that keeps the cheese tasty and fresh.
   • Unless cut through the crust, Camembert can be stored in the refrigerator for 1–2 weeks and over 6 months in the freezer.

Method 2 of 3: Try a Warm Camembert

1. 1 Bake the cheese in a wooden box if you want to heat it up. Remove the cheese from the box and remove the wrapper. Place the cheese on the bottom of the box and place the box in the baking dish, but leave it uncovered. Bake the cheese for 10 minutes at 200 ° C. After 10 minutes, make sure the cheese has melted before removing it from the oven.
   • Try dipping slices of toast into the cheese for a delicious snack.
2. 2 Melt the cheese over charcoal if you want to fry it. If you've warmed up your grill for dinner, try charring the Camembert for a snack or dessert. Wrap the cheese tightly in foil and leave on hot coals for about 20-30 minutes. Remove it from the coals with tongs, and then put it in the wooden box you bought it in.
   • Freshly made garlic bread can also be heated with cheese.
3. 3 Wrap camembert in ham and pan for a delicious meal. Cover the cheese with a few thin slices of ham, wrapping it in several layers. Add a little butter or vegetable oil to the skillet and heat. Place the camembert in a skillet and brown the ham and cheese on all sides.
   • After a few minutes, the cheese inside should melt.
   • Serve cheese along with bread or crackers.

Method 3 of 3: Using Camembert in Recipes

1. 1 Cut the camembert into pieces to make a salad. Try a salad with spicy herbs such as rocket salad and camembert chunks. Add a few apple or pear slices and sprinkle with a small handful of pecans or walnuts. If desired, you can also add a few chopped onions to add flavor to the salad.
   • For the dressing, you can use French dressing or honey mustard.
2. 2 Melt Camembert for your favorite high-carb meals. Use camembert instead of cream or milk. For example, melt it to make pasta dishes such as macaroni and cheese or pasta with mushrooms and camembert. It can also be used to make mashed potatoes. Just add room temperature camembert before mashed potatoes.
   • If you want the camembert to become part of the sauce, then it is best to cut off the rind and use only the middle of the cheese.
3. 3 Make a panini or grilled cheese sandwich. Spread butter over two slices of bread. Place the bread in a heated skillet or panini press, butter side down. Place the pieces of cheese on the bread, then pour the jam over it. Place a second slice of bread on top, then heat the sandwich on both sides.
   • If you are using a panini press, simply lower it when you are finished assembling the sandwich.
4. 4 Fry the camembert pieces. Cut the cheese into slices and dip in the flour, salt and a few pinches of dried thyme. Beat the egg, dip the pieces of cheese in it, then roll them in breadcrumbs. Fry the slices in 5-7.5 cm of hot oil until golden brown.
   • Serve the cheese with a sweet, fruity French dressing.
