Camembert Cheese Fondue Board
Winter rhymes with cozy, comforting food. And a cheese fondue sure ticks both boxes!
A few years ago, I shared my recipe for a traditional French Savoyard Cheese Fondue here on the blog. It's the perfect cheese fondue recipe for entertaining!
But this year, I was inspired to re-vamp and make my cheese fondue a little lighter and easier to prepare. Hence this delicious Camembert cheese fondue, baked in its own box and served on a board of rainbow-colored veg!
Camembert Cheese Fondue Board
I make this type of baked Camembert at Christmas and New Year as an appetizer, usually topped with a chutney or fruit compote of some sort.
But for this "healthier" version of my Camembert Cheese Fondue, I decided to serve it with lashings of crunchy, colorful and raw vegetables on a wooden board.
So it's like a cheese board...but pimped up for winter! 😋
My husband is gluten intolerant and I'm on a keto diet, so this fondue allows us to enjoy the delicious, gooey cheesiness without feeling too guilty (or bloated) afterwards! 😋
I did add some cured meats and bread sticks to my fondue board for the kids, but that's totally optional.
Of course, you can also stick to the more traditional cheese fondue accompaniments of boiled potatoes, crunchy baguette and tons of charcuterie. Nothing wrong with that at all!
This Camembert fondue is so easy and quick to make too! It's baked in its wooden box, so you can skip the fondue pot altogether!
To serve my baked Camembert, I arranged it on a round board and surrounded it with the vegetables, charcuterie and bread sticks. That way, you can simply place it on the center of the table and everyone just digs in!
This type of cheese fondue board is perfect as a winter appetizer platter to share during any event you may be hosting this season! Come to think of it, it would make a super fun Valentine's Day meal for two, am I right? 😍
You could also serve the cheese and sides onto smaller, individual wooden chopping boards for each of the guests. This idea would be super fun at a sit-down meal or winter dinner party!
