Camembert cheese is a matured cheese from France. It is made from cow's milk, and its taste evolves from mild to intense as it matures. While the cheese's texture is creamy, the rind often causes dislike. It's not as soft as the inside, raising doubts about its edibility. So, what can be done to make it more palatable? One of the best ideas is to make chips from it.
The rind of Camembert is edible. Here's how to use it
The rind of Camembert is smooth and slightly velvety to the touch. It forms a natural barrier protecting the inside of the cheese from drying out. Of course, it is edible, though not to everyone's taste. Some even cut off pieces of it to get to the soft inside of the cheese.
If you don't enjoy the distinctive rind of Camembert cheese, don't throw it away. Instead, use it to make crunchy chips. You'll certainly surprise your loved ones with such a snack. These chips will go perfectly with cranberry jam. It's also worth lightly brushing them with honey.
Camembert rind chips. Recipe
Camembert rind chips don't require any additional ingredients. Simply spread thinly sliced rinds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-13 minutes at 390°F (until they become crispy).
You can also make homemade chips from the entire cheese wheel, cutting it into slices beforehand. In this case, remember that Camembert will first melt and then, after a few moments, start to crisp up. Importantly, this cheese is easier to slice when well-chilled.
