What is it about melted cheese that we all love so much? Is it a memory of childhood? I know it isn't economic, both the richest and poorest folks I know love a grilled cheese sandwich. During the winter months, The Boulevard Market sells a small raclette burner, a small tray that holds a slice of raclette cheese with candles underneath to melt it. They sell like hotcakes, it's a puddle of melted cheese! It's fantastic and decadent!
Many years ago, we started grilling a whole Camembert cheese. Its life changing. It can be 90 degrees outside and a white crusty round of melted cheese has the ability to drag everyone out of air condition to partake and enjoy!
The execution is so simple!
Brush a bit of olive oil on the rind of a Camembert cheese.
Place on grill that has been preheated to high.
USE A TIMER! 5 minutes on one side, flip and cook an additional 4 minutes.
Use the edge of your knife to scrape off the top layer, or cut the cheese and smear on fresh bread.
I serve my grilled cheese with fruit marmalade or fresh fruit if it's in season. Pears and apples go especially well with Camembert and you don't need a bit of bread!
