A creamy blend of cheeses with a light
walnut crunch.
Walnut
Camembert
- 4 ounces Camembert cheese
5 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup California walnuts
Paprika
- Using food processor pulse
Camembert and cream cheese together until well blended. Add 1/2
cup of walnuts chopped into small pieces. Pulse just until blended.
Do not run processor with walnuts continuously as you want to
be able to have a touch of walnut piece identity in the cheese
mixture! Shape into a round. Wrap in plastic. Chill.
- Melt butter in a small
pan. Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Sauté until golden.
Remove onto paper toweling. Press walnut pieces around sides
and top of the cheese round. Add a sprinkle of paprika for color.
Serve with crackers, breadsticks or pumpernickel bread, fresh
grapes and pears.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
Note: If desired, garnish
cheese ball with beautiful natural walnut pieces. This can be
done in advance. Wrap finished walnut cheese in plastic. Store
in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
