HEAVEN is all I have to say about this recipe. If you don’t try it, your life will never be complete.

Ingredients:

– 1 Camembert
– 1 Puff pastry block, rolled out into two sheets
– 2 tbsp. onion chutney (or apricot jam!)
– 1 egg yolk, whisked
– 1 stick of French bread, sliced

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees/Gas Mark 4.
2. Remove the Camembert cheese from the plastic wrapper.
3. Slice the Camembert in half horizontally.
4. Spread the onion chutney on one half of the Camembert, and then place the other half of the cheese back on top (similar to how you would make a sandwich!)
5. Place the Camembert to one side.
6. Make sure the puff pastry sheets are rolled out to at least the thickness of a pound coin.
7. Place the Camembert on top of one puff pastry sheet.
8. Gently brush the egg yolk on the pastry surrounding the cheese.
9. Now place the other pastry sheet on top of the cheese and squeeze the two pastry sheets together around the cheese to seal them.
10. With a knife, cut away the excess pastry, leaving 1-2 inches of pastry around the edge of the cheese.
11. With a fork, press around the edges of the pastry to squidge out all the excess air and it makes a pretty pattern!
12. With the leftover pastry, cut a heart shape and place it on top of the cheese.
13. Now brush all of the pastry with the remaining egg yolk until it is covered.
14. Place in the oven for 15 minutes.
15. Remove from the oven, slice it up and serve with the French bread.
