It's the final day of 2024, and the biggest party of the year is just a matter of hours away - New Year's Eve . No matter what your feelings are about this night, you can't deny that it's an excellent time to celebrate new beginnings with the people close to you. So whether that's at a party or a quiet gathering at home, the celebrations are always made much better if you've got some delicious snacks to enjoy.
And if you're looking for something ultra-easy that will still leave your guests satisfied and happy, then there's one Jamie Oliver recipe that fits the bill. His 'beautiful' baked Camembert can be thrown together in less than an hour, making it the perfect last-minute snack option that still tastes divine. This gooey and moreish baked cheese is topped with nutty cranberry crumbles, so it's ideal for using up any leftover ingredients you have from your Christmas cheeseboard.
Posting the recipe on his website, Jamie said: "A lovely gooey baked Camembert with loads of crusty bread for dipping is always a winner." So, if you want to whip this up at home, here's everything that you'll need to make this decadent yet simple recipe with no complicated ingredients. Jamie Oliver's beautiful baked Camembert Ingredients 250g Camembert One clove garlic A few tips fresh rosemary Olive oil Bite-sized pieces of stale bread A few sprigs of rosemary One tiny pinch sea salt One small handful dried cranberries One small handful mixed nuts Method Preheat the oven to 180oC/350oF/gas 4.
Leaving it in the box, score around the top of a 250g Camembert about 1⁄2cm in and cut off the top layer of skin. Finely slice a peeled garlic clove and poke it into the top of the cheese with a few fresh rosemary tips. Drizzle with a little olive oil then bake in the hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Thread bite-sized pieces of stale bread onto stripped woody rosemary sprigs, drizzle them with olive oil and a tiny pinch of sea salt to help them crisp up then lay them on a tray and pop in the oven to cook with the Camembert. Finely chop a small handful of dried cranberries and mixed nuts and put them in a little bowl. Once your bread skewers are golden and crisp and your cheese is oozy, put everything out on a board then dunk a bit of toasted bread in the gooey cheese and dip it in the cranberry and nuts.
