Notes

For best results, use a sharp knife to cut through the baked camembert. Score the top layer of the cheese before wrapping it in pastry to enhance melting. Keep an eye on the pastry while it bakes to prevent burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days and reheat in the oven to retain crispiness. This recipe can be prepared ahead of time; just assemble and refrigerate until ready to bake.
