Directions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prep the Camembert: Unwrap the Camembert and score the top in a crosshatch pattern. This helps the heat penetrate and creates a beautiful look.
  3. Assemble the dish: Place the Camembert in the center of a round oven-safe dish. Arrange the grapes around the cheese in a ring. Place the baguette slices around the outer edge of the dish, overlapping slightly if needed.
  4. Drizzle and season: Drizzle everything with olive oil. Sprinkle with fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary), salt, and black pepper.
  5. Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is soft and gooey in the center, the grapes have softened and burst slightly, and the baguette slices are golden and crispy.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven. Drizzle with honey and serve with prosciutto on the side. Use the baguette slices to dip into the warm, melted cheese and enjoy immediately!

Pro Tips

  • Room temperature cheese: Let the Camembert sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before baking for the creamiest result.
  • Get creative with herbs: Try fresh rosemary, thyme, or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Add nuts: Scatter some walnuts or pecans around the dish before baking for extra crunch.
  • Don’t overcook: The cheese is ready when it’s soft and runny in the center—overbaking can make it tough.
  • Make it a meal: Serve with a simple green salad dressed in vinaigrette for a complete light dinner.
