Ingredients
- 250 grams camembert (9 oz) packed in wooden box
- 1 tablespoon honey Acacia (you may wish to add more)
- a pinch dried thyme or a sprig of fresh
- 1 clove garlic smashed (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt Kosher/Maldon
- black pepper freshly ground
To serve
- slices of warm crusty bread
- apple or pear slices or figs
- roasted pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200℃/180℃ Fan/350℉.
- Remove the cheese from the box and take off the plastic wrapping. Use a sharp knife to score the top of the cheese in a criss cross pattern.
- Drizzle honey over the top and sprinkle with the thyme. You could add a small smashed clove of garlic over the cheese at this point. Put the cheese back in the box and place on a small baking tray on the middle shelf and bake for 15 minutes.
- Take the cheese out of the oven and remove the lid. Season the cheese with a little finishing salt (to taste) and some freshly ground black pepper. Serve with a sliced baguette, apple or pear slices, figs, or breadsticks and some chopped pecans (optional).
Notes
- For further detailed notes, see post above.
- Select a camembert that comes in a wooden box and remove the plastic wrapping.
- Using a sharp knife score the top of the cheese rind in a criss-cross pattern.
- Drizzle with some honey such as Acacia or Chestnut and sprinkle the thyme.
- Use one sprig of fresh thyme, or just a pinch if using dried, as it has a stronger flavour.
- Adding a small smashed clove of garlic is optional.
- Put the cheese back in the box and close the lid, then place on a baking sheet on the middle shelf of the oven. This will make it easy to remove from the oven and catch any spills should the cheese ooze out.
- T0 BBQ, wrap the cheese in parchment paper and then in baking foil and place on the grill (away from direct heat) for around 10 minutes.
- Season with finishing salt (optional) and freshly ground black pepper.
- Serve with thickly sliced baguette, apple and pear wedges, figs, breadsticks or vegetable sticks.
- Sprinkle over some chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture (optional).
- Wrap any leftovers in wax paper or plastic wrap and keep in the fridge. Use within a couple of days. Reheat before serving.
