Ingredients
- 8 ounces camembert cheese (225 grams / 1 wheel)
- 1/2 cup pecan halves (60 grams)
- 1/3 cup honey (115 grams)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely minced fresh rosemary
- Flaky salt for serving
- Crackers, fruit, and/or bread for serving
Equipment
- Small baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Remove the wheel of camembert from the box and discard any wrappings. Place the camembert in a small baking dish (or back in the bottom of the box it came in). Bake the camembert for 15-20 minutes, just until it's warmed through and melty in the center.
- Meanwhile, pour the pecans into a skillet. Toast over medium heat until they're lightly browned and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
- Once the pecans are toasted, add the honey and rosemary. Bring it to a simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until the pecans are glazed.
- Spoon the glazed pecans and any leftover honey over the warm camembert. Sprinkle with flaky salt to taste. Serve with crackers, fresh fruit, and/or bread. Enjoy!
Notes
You can replace the camembert with brie and the pecans with walnuts or almonds. This recipe is super easy to customize!
Make sure to use a decent camembert! You don't need anything too expensive since we're topping it with honey and pecans. But you also don't want anything low-quality, or it could affect the overall taste.
Don't over-bake the camembert, or it could curdle. You want to cook it just until the center is nice and melty!
Feel free to add some red pepper flakes or minced garlic to the honey-pecan mixture. Start with 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, or about 1 teaspoon (1 small garlic clove) of minced garlic, and add more to taste.
If you want less rind, or want the cheese to be a bit more dippable like fondue, you can cut the top of the rind off of the Camembert before baking it. Just don't cut off the rind on the sides, or it will completely melt apart!
