  • 1 whole camembert cheese about 8 oz
  • 4 medium potatoes thinly sliced
  • 6 slices bacon cut into lardons
  • 1 large onion finely chopped

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Slice the potatoes thinly and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the lardons, cooking until crispy and golden; remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, sauté the onions until soft and translucent, then add garlic for the last minute.
  5. In a baking dish, layer the potatoes, half the onion-garlic mixture, and half the lardons, placing the camembert in the center.

Notes

For a twist, drizzle honey over the baked camembert just before serving to balance the richness. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven for best results. You can easily prep this dish a day in advance and cook it right before serving. Just cover it and refrigerate, then let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before baking. Enjoy!
