Baked Camembert Au Calvados

Cheese is a classic appetizer often served at gatherings and social functions. There are so many different ways to prepare and pair the countless types of cheese that exist that it can become overwhelming when planning a menu. One of my favorites Camembert Au Calvados, which can be found in the specialty cheese case at Heinen’s. Warm and creamy with sweet hints of honey and maple, this cheese is the perfect dippable appetizer and pairs beautifully with your favorite sparkling wines.
