1 serving
25 minutes
Fried camembert with blueberry-rosemary jam is a true gastronomic delight inspired by French cuisine. The camembert, tender and creamy, gains a light caramelization when fried, revealing new flavor nuances. Its velvety texture harmonizes beautifully with the vibrant blueberry jam, where the sweetness of the berry is complemented by aromatic notes of rosemary and a spicy honey accent. Thyme leaves and pink and fragrant pepper create a refined spicy composition, while the salad with walnuts and pickled ginger refreshes and adds balance. This dish is perfect as an exquisite appetizer for a cozy dinner or festive table, and the combination of warm cheese and fruit jam offers unforgettable taste sensations.
