Fool proof food
Serves 6-8.
A slightly under ripe Cooleeney Brie or Camembert, or any farmhouse cheese in a timber box
Crusty white bread or home made potato crisps
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Remove the labels from the box and the wrapper from the cheese. Replace the cheese in the box and pop into the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, by which time it should be soft and molten in the centre.
Cut a cross in the centre and serve immediately with crusty white bread croutes or potato crisps.
Note: check the box is stapled, otherwise it may fall apart in the oven.
Potato Crisps
2 very large potatoes
Scrub the potatoes and slice the potatoes as thinly as possible to attain long thin slices preferably with a mandolin. Deep fry them to attain crisps. These can be made ahead and kept in a warm place. You will need 3-4 crisps per portion.
