Ingredients


Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Place your unwrapped soft rind cheese in a shallow baking dish. If you plan on moving the cheese after baking, line your baking dish with parchment paper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Once it is melted all the way through the center, it should feel wobbly when lightly touched. Remove from the oven. 

If you are serving it in a different container than what you baked it in, transfer to that container using the parchment paper to keep the rind from breaking.

Pour your honey on top of the cheese. Add your apple and other toppings. Serve with crackers or crusty bread. Break the rind with a cheese knife and watch all of the beautiful ooey-gooey-ness.
