Ingredients

1. 1/2 cup walnut pieces
2. One 8-ounce wheel of ripe Camembert in its wooden box, at room temperature
3. 1 tablespoon walnut oil
4. 3/4 pound wild mushrooms, trimmed, caps thinly sliced
5. Salt and freshly ground pepper
6. 1 shallot, minced
7. 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
8. 2 large sage leaves, minced
9. Sourdough toasts, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the walnut pieces on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 7 minutes, until lightly browned. Lower the oven temperature to 300°.
2. Remove the Camembert from the box and unwrap it. Put the cheese back in the bottom half of the box and set it on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, until soft.
3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the walnut oil. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 3 minutes longer. Add the shallot and cook until softened, 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and sage; season with salt and pepper.
4. Invert the Camembert onto a platter. Stir the walnuts into the mushrooms and spoon over the cheese. Serve with the toasts.
