Hi stormeil,
yes, I know this dish quite well. It is called "Gebackener Camembert - Baked Camembert Cheese" and it is served with Preiselbeeren (cranberries) as you suggested correctly. "Our" cranberries here are smaller, that's true and are like the Swedish lingonberries. So you were exactly right.
I use to buy the cranberries as a sort of marmelade in a jar. So I can use them for this dish but also as a topping on fresh bread with cottage cheese, with venison, liver, pancakes, with fruit salads or fruit tarts. It's a multitalent. You can heat some in the microwave to get a perfect sauce for your Baked Camembert.
In my family we have the Baked Camembert with some fresh salads and fresh bread especially in summer. Here is the basic recipe for it; you can vary it easily.
Gebackener Camembert mit Preiselbeeren - Baked Camembert Cheese with Cranberry Sauce
INGREDIENTS:
4 Camembert Cheeses
2 eggs
1tsp. oil
some flour
dry bread crumbs
butter
1 jar Cranberry Sauce
4 springs fresh parsley
METHOD:
Whip the eggs with a little oil.
Dip Camemberts in flour from all sides.
Dip into egg and finally coat well on all sides with the crumbs.
In the meantime, heat plenty of butter in a small sauce pan (or use a small deep fryer) to fry cheese on all sides till browned.
The Camembert is done when the rind is still intact but already soft inside (press very carefully to test).
Put it on a plate and arrange each with a spring of fresh parsley.
In the meantime heat some cranberry sauce in the microwave and garnish the cheese with it.
Serve with fresh bread, a cold beer or a light white wine.
Or serve it with a fresh salad or an asparagus salad (my favorite!) ... very yummy!
I hope this could be of help for you; enjoy!
