Camembert en Croute

Ingredients

2 round blocks Camembert

6 or 8 filo pastry sheets

1 egg, beaten

4 stripes prosciutto or hamon plus extra to serve

2 - 4 tbsp pear jam plus extra to serve

2 - 3 tbsp olive oil

freshly ground black pepper

some almonds, to serve

french baguette or other crunchy bread on your choice

Directions

Preheat the oven to 190C.

Unwrap the filo pastry, divide in half and trim the edges if necessary so it fits the size of the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and spread it over with a brush. Put some pear jam, arrange two slices prosciutto and put the camembert on top.

Sprinkle with black pepper and brush the edges with the beaten egg. Wrap as a parcel and put on a baking tray covered with paper. Repeat with the remaining products once again.

Brush tops with the beaten egg all over, sprinkle with more black pepper and bake for 15-20 min until golden brown.

Serve with more jam and prosciutto, if you wish, along with some cut almonds and crunchy bread.
