Baked Camembert + Blackberries

Baked Camembert + Blackberries

Delicious, comforting, heavenly, soothing, and makes everything in the world oh-so-right – it’s called cheese. And more specifically, baked Camembert.

When you bake this amazing cheese, it melts ever so gently, and makes for the perfect fancy appetizer, or in my case, an entire meal for one.

The Camembert is a versatile cheese and pairs well with sweet, spicy and sour. I have many variations to the baked cheese, depending on what’s in my fridge. This one however, is a gorgeous one with delicious blackberries roasted with the cheese and inundated with fresh sprigs of rosemary and thyme. Made within minutes, this is all you will ever need on a Saturday night!
