Notes

  1. I served mine as a little mixed platter with crackers, caramelized onions, grapes and pomegranate seeds to make it festive.
  2. To caramelize onions.  Thinly slice an onion.  Set a pan over high heat and add olive oil.  Add the onions and give a good toss around for about 3 minutes until they start to brown.  Reduce heat to medium low and add a splash of water.  Continue to cook the onions for a further 20 minutes or so until they have caramelized. Stir as they cook to ensure they do not burn or stick.  Remove from heat when done.
  3. Can arrange the baked Camembert on a tray like I did above or just serve it plain with cracker.
