EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The bell pepper mixture can be made up to 24 hours in advance; cover and refrigerate. Just before serving, reheat in the microwave on High for 1 to 2 minutes.

Serve on a gold or silver holiday platter, and tuck a few sprigs of fresh rosemary around the cheese.

Camembert is a wonderful rich, creamy cheese from France that typically comes in a round and has a soft edible rind. When ripe, this fragrant cheese oozes slightly.
