Description
This velvety camembert sauce is a creamy, flavorful addition to any dish. Perfect for drizzling over vegetables, meats, or dipping with crusty bread, it’s rich, quick to make, and irresistibly comforting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 wheel Camembert Cheese (about 250g)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 Garlic Cloves, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme, finely chopped
Instructions
- Place your saucepan over low heat to gently warm before adding anything.
- Add the butter and garlic. Let it melt and sizzle softly until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the cream and stir in the mustard. Warm it gently.
- If your camembert has a very thick rind, slice off the top. Cut the rest into chunks and get ready to melt it down.
- Add the camembert pieces to the warm cream mixture, stirring constantly over low heat.
- Keep stirring until the cheese is fully melted and smooth, about 5 to 7 minutes. Don’t let it boil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the chopped thyme and remove from heat. Let sit for a minute to thicken slightly.
- Pour into a serving bowl and pair with crusty bread, roasted veggies, or your main dish.
Notes
- Use room temperature cheese for best melting.
- Stir constantly after adding cheese to prevent clumps.
- Adjust seasoning only at the end to avoid oversalting.
- Add a splash of cream when reheating to restore texture.
