Baked Camembert in Puff Pastry with Broccoli and Sage Butter

This is a great way to quickly create an impressive dish that is so easy it's barely cooking really. I would recommend using ready rolled puff pastry, because making it really is over-complicated and time consuming, but you must make sure it's all-butter. You can make this at any time of the year, but to give it a Christmas flavour I added some cranberry sauce. Serve with a salad as an appetizer for four or with some green vegetables like broccoli for a main course for two.

whole camembert

1 sheet

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Take the camembert out of its wooden box and remove the paper, check to see if there is a sticker you need to remove from the bottom of the cheese too.

* Step 2

Check that the pastry sheet is large enough to enclose the cheese, and if it is cut it in half equally. Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas 5.

* Step 3

Spoon some cranberry sauce on to one half of the pastry and then place the cheese on top. Brush the edges with beaten egg.

* Step 4

Put the other half of pastry over the top of the cheese and use a fork to press the sides together. Then use your fingers to create an edge, pushing the pieces of pastry tightly together so there are no gaps for the sauce or cheese to ooze out.

* Step 5

Brush beaten egg all over the camembert pie, this gives a lovely golden finish. You can also use milk if you don't want to waste an egg!

* Step 6

Place the camembert in the oven and bake for about 20–30 minutes until it is puffed up and golden. Allow to stand for 5 to 6 minutes so that the cheese firms up a little.
