BAKED CAMEMBERT WITH HONEY, THYME & PECANS

One of my favourite foods in the world is cheese – soft cheeses, like brie or camembert, in particular. I can down one of these babies all on my own in one sitting.

So, you can imagine that there was a very short photography session in this case with no-one else getting a look-in so far as lunch went!

Thanks to New Zealand’s Food magazine (December 2013, Issue 74) for this recipe. I usually prefer cheese without any flavourings, but the honey, chilli, thyme and pecans were a lovely addition and complemented the mild camembert beautifully.

Ingredients
  

  • 125 g whole camembert cheese
  • Fresh thyme springs

  • Place the wrapped camembert on a baking tray. Score the top of the cheese with a small, sharp knife toprevent it from bursting. Top the camembert with the thyme sprigs and chilli flakes.
  • Bake the camembert in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Place on a serving platter. Drizzle the honey over thecheese and scatter over the toasted pecans. Serve with crackers and dried or fresh fruit.
