Ingredients
125 g round camembert
3 tbsp ginger marmalade
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp finely chopped cilantro, parsley or basil
1 tbsp chopped toasted pecans, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Slice rind horizontally from top of cheese and discard. Place cheese in centre of a foil-lined pie plate or microwave-safe serving dish. In a small bowl, stir marmalade with cumin. Spread mixture over cheese. Just before serving, bake cheese in centre of 400F (200C) oven until sides feel warm when poked, from 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a serving plate. Or microwave, uncovered, on medium 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with coriander and pecans, if using. Serve with small toasts and apple or pear wedges for spreading with cheese.
