Date and nut-baked Saint-Marcellin
French 10 Mins Prep · 45 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.
- Remove the Saint-Marcellin from its packaging and place each wheel in a small oven-proof dish or ramekin.
- Pit and chop the dates. Roughly chop the nuts. Finely chop the rosemary.
- In a small bowl, combine the dates, nuts, honey, olive oil, rosemary and pepper. Mix well to create a flavourful topping. Spoon the mixture evenly over the tops of the Saint-Marcellin wheels, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the dishes in the oven and bake for approx. 10 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and gooey, and the topping is slightly caramelised.
- Meanwhile, brush the baguette slices with some olive oil and toast in a pan until golden.
- Carefully remove the baked Saint-Marcellin from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve immediately, either in the ramekins or carefully transfer them to a cheese board, along with the toasted baguette slices.
