Baked Camembert with figs and walnuts

Baked Camembert is a wonderful dish to share with friends and loved ones -  it’s also perfect for parties with an aperitif or for finishing off a meal or dinner party. I made this bakedCamembert with figs and walnutsusing goat’s milk Camembert cheese which was particularly delicious but the normal cow's milk version is very tasty too. Serve it with crusty bread, crackers, croutons or breadsticks.
