Le Rustique Camembert, Fig And Basil Sourdough Toastie.

Happy Tuesday! Le Rustique Camembert, Fig and Basil Sourdough Toastie anyone?

This scrumptious toasted Le Rustique Camembert sandwich makes a great comforting supper for two.

The dish uses mature camembert which is very creamy and soft and has a pronounced flavour.

A smoked tomato chutney also works well with this toastie if you are looking for a bit of extra flavour!
