This baked camembert with walnuts is a great appetizer or perhaps to share with a salad. The crunch of the walnuts encrusted cheese goes well with the Camembert cheese which does not ooze too much once baked.
I had a baked Camembert last December and loved the gooey, cheesy gorgeousness of it. However, despite the hot, oozy cheese I felt that it lacked a little something. So I had a play and added ground nuts with some low carb/gluten free bread crumbs to it..and...voila!
Now, this was a cooked cheese that we growled over like a pack of hungry dogs...it is truly delicious with crudities and toasted pieces of almond bread...well, I could eat it by itself in all honesty! There are no photos of it cut as it was so gooey and I wanted to dive it..so use your imagination or try it yourself to see it in all it's hot action!
I used walnuts but you could use any other nuts...nuts just go so well with cheese! I just blitzed the nuts in a food processor and voila! This makes a wonderful starter or a great supper dish! I used thyme purely as I enjoy it with walnuts. Feel free to use the herb or spice of your choice. You could do mini cheeses with this too and have it with a salad. Hey, who I am kidding, bake it and eat it whole, I won't judge you.....I've probably done it myself! 😉

What a fantastic idea and recipe. Never thought of doing this before. The walnuts complemented my home made Camembert cheese perfectly.
