Oven-Roasted Queso Fresco Cheese and Apples

Recipe Description

We’ve all heard of baked camembert cheese – that rich, buttery French dish, right? Well this Oven-Roasted Queso Fresco Cheese and Apples is a lighter take on the baked cheese idea. Queso fresco is fresh and mild Mexican cheese which is simple to make from scratch and tastes absolutely delicious when served with nuts and apples.

It’s so easy to make this baked queso too. Start by mixing apples, butter, honey, rosemary leaves and your choice of nuts in a baking dish. I’ve used pistachios, walnuts, almonds and pecans for this before and they all taste great when once the cheese is placed on top and baked until golden brown! I like to serve this dish in the center of the table with freshly baked bread.

To make Oven-Roasted Queso Fresco Cheese and Apples, you will need the following ingredients:
