Ingredients

For the baked cheese and topping


  • 200g -250g round shaped mould cheese e.g. Camenbert, Goat cheese (at least 4 cm thick)

  • 4 garlic cloves (in 2mm slices)

  • 2 twigs rosemary (cut in 2 cm sections)

  • 10 red currant berries

  • 5 blue berries

  • 1 Tbsp honey


For the pesto twists


  • 250g pizza dough

  • 100g Pesto

  • Salt, Pepper, grated cheese

 

 

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C fan.


  • Remove any wrapping of the cheese that might burn in the oven and put it in a little nest of baking paper or just simply place it in a small bowl, that is oven proof. Actually, anything that holds the cheese in shape and is oven proof will work.


  • Cut along and across the top of the cheese, roughly half a centimeter deep. We want to use these cuts later to fold the 4 corners of the cheese open to dip inside.


  • Place the cheese in the oven, so that the top surface gets baked a little. That makes it much easier to open it up.


  • After ~5 minutes take it out again and fold the corners out, so that the inner creamier cheese is visible.


  • Pierce the cheese with the garlic slices and the small rosemary twigs. Top the cheese with the berries and sprinkle some honey over.


  • Place the cheese back in the oven for another 15 minutes. 


For the pesto twists


  • Roll the dough on a flavoured surface roughly 7 mm thick and put on baking paper.


  • Distribute the pesto on the dough.


  • Cut the dough into ~3cm stripes.


  • Use your hands to twist all the stripes.


  • Top all the twists with some flaky salt, pepper and some leftover grated cheese.


  • Bake in the oven for ~15 minutes at 200°C fan.

Good to know

For next time: The garlic and the berries were absolutely delicious. We need to find a way to bake some berries and garlic additionally on the side in the oven, so that you can constantly add more garlic and berries while you snack.
