List of Ingredients



• 4 ounces Camembert cheese
  
• 5 ounces cream cheese
  
• 1 cup California walnuts
  
• 1 Tbsp butter
  
• Paprika
  






Instructions



1. Using a food processor, blitz Camembert and cream cheese together until well blended. Add 1/2 cup of walnuts chopped into small pieces. Pulse just until blended. (Do not run processor with walnuts continuously, as you want to be able to have a touch of walnut piece identity in the cheese mixture!) Shape into a round and wrap in plastic; chill.
   
   
2. Melt the butter in a small pan. Add the remaining 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Saute until golden. Remove onto paper toweling. Press walnut pieces around sides and top of the cheese round. Add a sprinkle of paprika for color.
   
   
3. Serve with crackers, breadsticks, or pumpernickel bread, fresh grapes and pears.
   
   Makes 4 to 6 servings.
   
   






Final Comments


* Variation: If you prefer, garnish the cheese ball with beautiful, natural walnut pieces. This can be done in advance. Wrap finished walnut cheese in plastic; store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
