Easy Baked Cheese Fondue

This cheese fondue is rich and creamy with a slightly spicy flavor. It is an easy appetizer to prepare since the Cambozola cheese is just sprinkled with pepper and chopped nuts, and baked just long enough to melt the cheese. It creates a perfect appetizer when served over a slice of crusty bread. If Cambozola cheese is not available, you can substitute Camembert or Brie cheese. This is a recipe you will want to share with other cheese lovers.

Ingredients

• 1 8-ounce wedge or round Cambozola, Camembert, or Brie cheese
• Coarsely ground mixed pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
• Sliced coarse-grain or crusty bread, toasted, or crackers
