Default Camembert on toast - what other ingredients to use?

I'm in the mood for some Camembert on toast for breakfast this
morning, and waiting for the loaf to finish baking. I also have some
smoked ham I could add, maybe some onion or garlic... and some baby
salad leaves perhaps... avocado? Not sure about that one.

I came across this (wish I had some cranberry sauce right now)
http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2...mbert-sandwich


Just wondering if anyone has a favourite way of using Camembert on
toast, what other ingredients do you use?

I would keep it simple and complementary. A touch of fig jam, cranberry
sauce, etc.

Nix on the onion, garlic, leaves, and avocado.

Maybe a tiny bit of pickled onion or garlic, for the tang.

How about lemon zest for tang?

I like your ideas but don't have any of those ingredients ATM, aside
from garlic. I might put cranberry sauce on the shopping list for next
time though, that does sound good to me, thanks.

I'm not just a fan of Camembert in the morning, but a zealot. I add nothing.

Just plain. Savor the flavor of the melting goodness. Nothing else

I had some fresh tonight with my own bread and a glass of Burgundy:-)
However, I was once served deep fried Camembert with peach slices and it
was excellent. One of my many bread books has a recipe where you slather
peach or other chutney on a whole Camembert, wrap it in brioche dough
and bake.

Yep, though some prosciutto would be nice.
I think I'm going to have the same again for breakfast today, I really
enjoyed it yesterday.

It's pretty good on it's own, that's for sure. I might buy another and
try baking it before using it.

More Camembert.

I hope you have let it sit at room temp for 24 hours and
it isn't ice cold.

I have had a couple Danish themed Camembert desserts. There was a Danish
restaurant in a nearby city that had deep fried Camembert
served with strawberry jam. The other was in a restaurant in Denmark,
Camembert baked in puff pastry with Blueberry jam. Both were wonderful.

The latter works well with peach chutney.

I was thinking (since it's the right season here) that cranberry
jam/preserve/relish would be nice with it.

I have to admit that I have enjoyed a few variations of Brie and
Camembert baked in phylo or puff pastry with cranberries.

However, you might like to try it with strawberry jam. I imagine it
would be easy enough to try at home. Cut some Camembebert into small
wedges, dip it in flour, egg and then bread crumbs, pop it into oil
until done and then serve it warm with the jam.

You know I don't fry. If the cheese is runny, it will be baked.

Certainly. But it's a long hour, sitting and staring at it.

Recently tried some Trader Joe's "Camembert". It's slightly curious
for a Brie, if you like Brie.

Speaking of brie. Have you tried St. Andre?

More time is better for semi-soft cheeses. The flavour will
be more prominent.

Default Camembert on toast - what other ingredients to use?

It tastes like brie. A slightly "more interesting brie", or the way I
worded it "curious" brie.

Expectations? I don't expect American "camembert" to taste like
Camembert de Normandie. Presidente is always available at Ralphs. They
call it camembert; it tastes like brie. There are 2 or 3 others that
I've bought in supermarkets, these are all the ones that are generally
available. NONE tastes like a camembert--forget either "good" or "bad"
in the evaluation, solely "not".

When I want actual camembert I go to Whole Foods and get one. If it
doesn't say "de Normandie" on it, then it's like Kraft saying "real
cheese", which it may be in a chemistry sense, but not in a
palate/perceptions sense.

It's like a triple-creme--though I'm not sure whether a "real" St.
Andre is supposed to taste differently. It's okay, but over the years
I have found that triple-cremes (*which I inexplicably call "tres
golpes"), are rich and pleasant cheeses that seemingly are born without
a hint of soul. I'm quite sure that continual pursuit of ripe cheeses
and flavors has influenced my tastes in this way.

* tres golpes is the largest conga drum when one plays three.

The Trader Joe's camember likely would make no difference between an
hour and three hours. It comes out of the fridge's butter box (at my
house) already a bit oozy and very sticky on the knife. In three hours
it might be soup, I don't know...

It's enough different that it got accolades last weekend. Apparently
it was new to them. They virtually ignored the Cambozola, which is a
real favorite of mine.

Cambozola is as blue as my family goes for an eating cheese and I
really seem to be the only one who truly likes it. So delicious with
pears.
