Baked Cheese

[LadyTevar]

While over in England, I was introduced to a nice Pub-Favorite: Baked Camember cheese. Camember, like Brie, is a soft cheese inside a molded rim. I'd always seen it in stores, never had reason to pick it up and eat any.

I'm eating some again now.

After removing the cheese from the wooden box, I unwrapped it, and put it back in the wooden box. At this point, I should have tied a string around the box to hold it together, but forgot. Then, I deeply scored the rind, so the hot cheese could vent, and put it in the oven at 350F for 20min.

After 20min, the wooden box had fallen apart, but the cheese had stayed together thanks to the rind. Once I peeled back the scored rind and dug in...
OMG.... so good with Tricuit (shredded wheat) crackers. Stringy, gooey, warm, and while the rind is musky from the mold, the inside is buttery.

Supper is served up with a bottle of WoodChuck Summer Cider.
