Camembert fondant aux canneberges - Baked Camembert with Cranberries

By joshuaalan

This is such a great French-American twist on this Brie appetizer craze hitting America by storm this season. Camembert is so underrated, and so much better tasting, in my opinion. The acidity from the berries help cut the creaminess from cheese, 'tis delicious!

Ingredients
