INGREDIENTS

1 whole round Camembert cheese (about 255g)
1/2 cup fresh pomegranate arils
1/3 cup chopped pistachios
1/4 cup pomegranate syrup or honey
1 baguette, thinly sliced and toasted
1-2 apples, cored and thinly sliced

RECIPE NOTES

This creamy, textured and earthy-flavoured snack makes for an effortless yet elegant Halloween appetiser, served from oven to table with sliced baguette and apples.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 180°C/ 356°F/ Gas Mark 4. Remove all packaging from the cheese and place it in a Le Creuset Pumpkin Butter Dish. Score the top of the cheese round with about 4 cuts in each direction in a crisscross pattern. Cover with lid and place in preheated oven. Bake cheese for about 12 minutes, or until the top feels soft.

Remove from the oven and top the warm cheese with the pomegranate arils, pistachios, and a drizzle of pomegranate syrup or honey. Serve immediately alongside toasted bread and apple slices.

COOKING TIP

For an enhanced flavour, consider roasting the pistachios before topping with the cheese.
