Prep time 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 ripe camembert (or wheel of brie)
120g button mushrooms
15g butter
3 sage leaves
50ml dry white wine
1 pinch ground cumin
Freshly ground salt and pepper

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Insert a knife into the skin of the cheese and cut a cross of around 5 cm in the centre. Place it in the Cheese Baker, close the lid, and bake for 20-25 mins.
2. During this time, clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and cut them into 1/2 cm slices.
3. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the sliced mushrooms and sage leaves. Add freshly ground salt and pepper, and sauté for around 10 mins, tossing regularly, until golden.
4. Deglaze with the white wine and continue cooking until the liquid has evaporated.
5. Remove the Cheese Baker from the oven and take off the lid. Using a knife, gently lift the skin in the centre and place the mushrooms in the melted cheese.
6. Serve immediately with steamed small new potatoes.
