❓ FAQ about air-fried Camembert
Should we keep the wooden box for cooking?
Yes, that's ideal: the box holds the cheese in place while it melts and prevents it from collapsing in the basket. Just remove the plastic! If the box isn't suitable, wrap the cheese in parchment paper and then aluminum foil.
Can Camembert be prepared in advance?
You can prepare it (incisions, herbs, oil) in advance and keep it chilled in its covered container. Cook it at the last minute to enjoy its optimal melt-in-your-mouth texture.
What accompaniment goes well with roasted Camembert?
Toast remains a must, but you can also offer steamed potatoes, a green salad, or air-fryer roasted vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
Can this recipe be made with a different cheese?
Of course! Try it with brie, mont d'or or even a small reblochon, adjusting the cooking time according to the size of the cheese.
