Here's a wonderfully easy way to elevate an impromptu gathering: Scatter herbs over a round of your favorite soft cheese-any mild, creamy Brie or Camembert is perfect-add a small pour of vermouth for flair, and bake it for 10 minutes. Spoon on sour-cherry jam, top with nuts, and ta-da! Molten magic to put out with whatever crudités, crunchy fruits, or crackers you have on hand.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 round Camembert or Brie (about 4 inches across; 8 ounces)
1 clove garlic, very thinly sliced (1 teaspoon)
4 thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon dry vermouth
2 tablespoons sour-cherry or raspberry jam
1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds or hazelnuts
Fennel wedges, green radishes, sugar snap peas, sliced green apple, baguette slices, and crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place cheese on a piece of parchment-lined foil and make a small slit in top, about 1/2 inch long. Sprinkle with garlic, thyme, and bay leaf. Drizzle with vermouth. Wrap loosely in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes, then remove and discard foil.
  • Open parchment and dollop cheese with jam. Return to oven and bake until cheese is molten and jam is warm, 2 to 4 minutes more. Sprinkle with nuts. Serve with desired accompaniments.
