Alternative to baked Camembert?

GoToGal

Good morn!

I'm having friends over on Sunday and usually serve a baked Camembert with an onion relish. The only thing is - I love the texture, the goo but I can't stand the soapy taste! Can anyone recommend a cheese that can be baked and will come out gooey but has a milder taste?

Ta muchly

Would think you could do this with a round of Brie as well, although it could be quite large

I've never found baked Camembert to be spoapy How about trying Pont l'Eveque?

Thanks both! I'll have a looksee round the shops in a bit. I am quite finnicky with cheese. My favourite is mature cheddar, so you can see why Camembert could be a stretch for me :rotfl:

Pont l'Eveque definitely comes into the smelly French cheese category. I love it but be aware that if it is very ripe you may not want it in your fridge! Bought a load of cheeses back from a French trip once and not having a freezer many of them ended up being stored on the windowsill of the downstairs lavatory with the window open till we got around to eating them!

:eek: Didn't buy any today, taking that into account, I'll buy it on the day!

I would go with brie, creamy and not too strong if you aren't into the more 'soapy' cheeses.

Brie or a nice goats cheese - but, I dont find a good Camembert soapy! try a different make hun. or ask at the cheese counter for a nice melting cheese.
