Baked Camembert in Puff Pastry with Broccoli and Sage Butter
- 1 whole camembert
- 1 sheet ready rolled all-butter puff pastry
- 2 tbsp cranberry sauce or redcurrant jelly
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 head broccoli
- a few fresh sage leave, rolled and finely shredded
- 1 handful pine nuts, dry roasted
- Take the camembert out of its wooden box and remove the paper, check to see if there is a sticker you need to remove from the bottom of the cheese too.
- Check that the pastry sheet is large enough to enclose the cheese, and if it is cut it in half equally.
- Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5.
- Spoon some cranberry sauce on to one half of the pastry and then place the cheese on top.
- Brush the edges with beaten egg.
- Put the other half of pastry over the top of the cheese and use a fork to press the sides together.
- Then use your fingers to create an edge, pushing the pieces of pastry tightly together so there are no gaps for the sauce or cheese to ooze out.
- Brush beaten egg all over the camembert pie, this gives a lovely golden finish.
- You can also use milk if you don't want to waste an egg!
- Place the camembert in the oven and bake for about 2030 minutes until it is puffed up and golden.
- Allow to stand for 5 to 6 minutes so that the cheese firms up a little.
- Quickly steam the broccoli in a little water, drain.
- Melt the butter in the pan, saute the sage leaves then toss in the broccoli and the pine nuts.
- Cut the pie in half and quickly move each piece to a warmed plate, add the broccoli and serve with extra cranberry sauce, if you wish.
