    Jacket potatoes for tea, and melt the camembert into potatoes? Extremely posh cheese on toast? Bake it and make your own fondue thing? Am struggling to think of creative uses as there is never any danger of cheese lasting more than about five minutes in my house!

    Broccoli, brie and camembert is a really good soup, which freezes really well too - just cook off some onion, garlic and celery, then when it's soft add some broccoli and veg stock. Simmer till the broccoli is soft, cool a little, then add chunks of brie and camembert. Blend, taste, and season/add more cheese as needed. As I said, this freezes well.

  • HELP::eek: What on earth can I do with left over Camembert other than deep fry it in breadcrumbs. I live on my own and need to use it up. Xmas company bailed out due to sickness and I have cheese board goodies left over :mad: I can think of things for the other cheeses but not this one.

    I just bake it in the oven then dip bread in it when it's still runny :)

    Maybe make cheese bread with it?

    I agree, yum!! you can score the top and push sliced garlic clove in before baking...
  • I think I remember a JO Recipe where you take the lid off, put herbs and garlic in, then when it's been baked for a bit you put it through cooked pasta for a cheesy pasta dish :)

    Hi kentmama,

    There's an earlier thread with some ideas that should help so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

    These threads might help too:

    baked camembert

    Whole camembert cheese and / or turkey rashers

    Pink
  • Dry fry a load of mushrooms and a shallott with a small clove of garlic crushed. Melt in a 1.5 oz of Camambert per person and heap over a jacket potato.

    The original recipe I found in an ld baked potato recipe book stated brie, but when I was doing Slimming World you could get more camembert for your healthy extra than brie ( and I'm a bit of a guts).

    Hope this helps
