Camembert en Croute
Camembert en Croute is a baked preparation where a whole Camembert cheese is wrapped in puff pastry along with walnuts, dried apricots, pastrami, and seasoned with dried sage. Once baked, the pastry encloses a warm, creamy cheese center and a sweet-savory filling, offering a rich and textured appetizer or snack.

Instructions
How to make CAMEMBERT en CROUTE:
- Roll out the pastry dough gently.
- Place the camembert in the middle and sprinkle on top the walnuts, dried apricots, and pieces of pastrami.
- Here you can play with the ingredients as you like, I used what I had in the house so I didn't closely follow the original recipe.
- Gently raise the edges of the dough and bring them over the cheese in a radial shape, or you can play with the dough as you wish.
- Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle on some nuts and a little dried sage.
- Heat the oven to 200 C degrees (392 Fahrenheit) and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
- We serve it about 5 minutes after baking to enjoy the maximum creaminess of the cheese.
- It was wonderful, too bad it ended so quickly.
- The guests were delighted and no wonder, it was the 'stand out piece' of the evening!
- Enjoy!
