5-ingredient crispy Camembert
"This is a classic that many Germans usually pick up prepared in the freezer section of the supermarket, but it can just as easily, quickly, and cheaply be made from scratch. Make sure to buy a Camembert with high fat content as it will melt much better for that delicious creamy, melty result. It’s more of an appetizer, but to make it a meal, serve it alongside or on top of a green salad."
