Cheese is one of the most versatile ingredients in the culinary world, and baking unlocks its full potential. At PT. Pasti Enak, we celebrate baked cheese in all its forms, from everyday favorites to indulgent specialties. Whether melted into pizza, transformed into fondue, or served bubbling at the table, baked cheese brings warmth, flavor, and comfort to every occasion.

Baked Cheese Options

Many cheeses are naturally suited to baking. Mozzarella and Provolone are staples in Italian‑American cuisine, often baked into pizzas, lasagnas, and casseroles. Mozzarella delivers that stretchy, golden melt we all love, while Provolone adds a mild tang and depth of flavor. Together, they show how baked cheese can elevate simple dishes into crowd‑pleasing meals.

Another baked cheese tradition comes from France: Mont d’Or. This seasonal cheese is often baked in its wooden box until it becomes runny, resembling a rich fondue. Served with bread, potatoes, or charcuterie, baked Mont d’Or is a communal dish that turns dining into an experience. Its creamy texture and nutty flavor make it a winter favorite, and it demonstrates how baking can transform a soft cheese into something extraordinary.

Of course, the most iconic baked cheese dish is pizza. Across Indonesia, pizza ovens are filled with bubbling mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan, proving that baked cheese is not just a European tradition but a global phenomenon. At PT. Pasti Enak, we produce low‑moisture mozzarella pizza cheese to ensure consistent melt and flavor, supporting pizzerias and home cooks alike.

Baked Cheese – Baked Camembert

Among all these varieties, baked Camembert stands out as a show‑stopping centerpiece. Originating from Normandy, Camembert is a soft, bloomy‑rind cheese with earthy notes. When baked, it becomes molten and creamy, perfect for dipping bread, crackers, or fruit. Preparing baked Camembert is simple if you can find puff pastry sheets in your local supermarket.

Pasti Enak Baked Camembert
1. Defrost a sheet of puff pastry that is large enough to wrap the entire camembert.
2. Place the Camembert in the middle of the sheet.
3. Fold the puff pastry around the Camembert.
4. Brush some egg wash (50% water 50% whole egg) on the puff pastry edges. This will act as a glue so the puff pastry holds togeather. Gently push the puff pastry closed around the cheese.
5. Turn the cheese over, and egg wash all exposed surfaces of the puff pastry.
6. Cut a V shape in the top of the puff pastry. (this will let the steam out when it is baked so your baked camembert does not crack open.
