Baked Camembert

I discovered that we already had hint to the origin of this recipe on our Vacherin cheese page. However, a recent reading of The Extraordinary Cookbook finally brought it to my attention.

I have substituted the marvellous Pié d'Angloys cheese for the Vacherin used in Stefan's recipe as it is available all year round and is as ridiculously cheap as it gorgeous. If you want to try the original, Vacherin cheese is usually available from August and end of March. I believe it is available in the UK from Waitrose during this period. Époisses de Bourgogne is another excellent candidate for this recipe.

You could of course try this with more than one cheese, but that would be greedy, wouldn't it?

Chef's note

I couldn't get Pié d'Angloys cheese the day I made this so I used what was available from a very limited selection of cheeses at our local supermarket. This was so good - I would try it with any of your favourite cheeses!
