Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole Camembert cheese in its wooden box if possible
  • 2 tablespoons honey a good, runny wildflower or chestnut honey is lovely
  • 1 teaspoon Espelette pepper or a mild chili powder or paprika
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 loaf crusty bread baguette, sourdough, or a rustic boule

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Oven-safe dish or skillet
  • Small bowl
  • Spoon
  • Sharp knife
  • Oven mitts
  • Bread knife and board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and let the camembert sit for 10-15 minutes to remove the chill.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the honey and Espelette pepper until combined.
  3. Place the camembert in an oven-safe dish and score the top rind in a criss-cross pattern.
  4. Drizzle the honey and spice mix over the camembert, pushing some into the cuts.
  5. Lay fresh thyme sprigs on top of the cheese.
  6. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until soft and oozy in the center, and the honey is bubbling.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 2-3 minutes before serving with crusty bread.

Notes

Ensure your Camembert is ripe for the best texture. Don't skip the scoring step; it helps the flavors penetrate the cheese. If the Espelette pepper is too spicy for some, start with half the amount and adjust in future preparations. For a fun twist, try different toppings like caramelized onions or fig jam. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a low oven.
