Notes

Substitute brie for camembert if preferred and replace bacon with grilled mushrooms for a vegetarian option. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheated in the oven for best results. For a lighter option, consider using phyllo dough instead of puff pastry and opt for low-fat camembert. Drizzle honey over the camembert before encasing it in pastry for an added layer of flavor.
