We just love [[Camembert]] [[Baked|baked]] in the [[Oven|oven]], dipping veggies or crisps into the melted [[Cheese|cheese]] - mmm!

This time I thought I would [[Bake|bake]] the [[Camembert]] inside the [[Squash|squash]], with plenty of [[Garlic|garlic]], obviously!

I would normally suggest plain [[Tortilla chips|tortilla chips]] (''crisps'') to [[Dip|dip]] in the [[Cheese|cheese]], but every make I've tried recently is either ridiculously over-flavoured or just plain salty. [[Taco shells]] have the same ingredients, but thankfully no added slat or flavours (yet!)

I've pre-cooked the [[Squash|squash]] first as some [[Squashes|squashes]] take longer than others to soften and the dish would be pointless in a [[Rock|rock]] hard squash, over cooked squashes however, are fine.

Pre cooking the [[Squash|squash]] allows you to blot up any liquid released during cooking before you add the [[Cheese|cheese]].

If you know how long your [[Squash|squash]] will take to soften then you could [[Bake|bake]] it with the [[Cheese|cheese]] from the start.

''Phwoarr!''

5/5 

The very idea! Fabulous, though probably not very healthy if you took this regularly.
