Grilled Camembert with Cherries and Rosemary

The Occasion: Every chance I get this summer. This one’s a keeper! The perfect appetizer with a glass of wine. If you're on the guest list this summer, you're in for a treat. 

I was first attracted by the beautiful photo in Cooking Light magazine and then fell in love when I realized how easy the recipe is.

My version never got those lovely grill marks like the photo, or the lovely red cherry-swirl through the melted cheese. But then again I don’t have a food stylist on staff either.

Doesn’t matter because this is DG* as my friend Karen likes to say. (*Damn good!)

Pretty flexible too. Try it with different fruits and herbs – peaches, blueberries, basil, and mint come to mind. I’m tempted to add a jolt of minced jalapeno to the fruit next time (cilantro optional), making it more like a salsa.
