  • 12 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sugar

  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 250 gr french camembert
  • 4 greek style flatbreads
  • 12 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 250 gr french camembert
  • 4 greek style flatbreads
  • 12 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

  1. a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
    b) Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 
    c) Remove the Camembert from its packaging, then pop it into a large square of foil. Scrunch the edges together around the sides, but leave the foil open at the top.
    d) Place the Camembert on a lined baking tray and bake on the top shelf of your oven until the cheese has melted, 15-20 mins.
  2. a) Meanwhile, pop the garlic into a large bowl with the olive oil (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper and mix together.
    b) Cut each flatbread into 6 triangles and add to the bowl of the garlic oil. Turn to coat well in the oil.
    c) Pop the garlic flatbreads onto another large baking tray in a single layer. TIP: Use two trays if necessary.
    d) Once the Camembert has been in the oven for 10 mins, place the flatbread triangles on the middle shelf and bake until golden, 6-8 mins.
  3. a) While everything cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 mins.
    b) Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar (see pantry for amount) and cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins more.
    c) Once the Camembert is baked, carefully place on a serving dish, then place the caramelised balsamic onions on top of the cheese.
    d)  Serve with the garlic bread dippers alongside for scooping up.
    Enjoy!
