Essential Ingredients- 1 wheel Camembert cheese
- Chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, to your preference)
Seasoning Ingredients- Honey (to your preference)
- Cinnamon powder (a pinch)
- Honey (to your preference)
- Cinnamon powder (a pinch)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by placing the Camembert cheese on an oven-safe dish or baking sheet. Making a few shallow scores on the top of the cheese will help the honey and nuts penetrate better and make it easier to eat once baked. Generously sprinkle the chopped nuts over the cheese. Next, drizzle honey over the cheese and nuts to your liking. Aim for a moderate amount of honey, just enough to lightly coat the cheese and nuts.
Step 2
Bake the cheese in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes. The baking time may vary depending on your oven. The cheese is ready when it’s golden brown and the edges are slightly melted. Be careful not to overbake, as the cheese can melt and spread too much. If you don’t have an oven, you can also use an air fryer or a skillet. For an air fryer, cook at 170°C (340°F) for 7-8 minutes. In a skillet, cook over low heat with a lid on until the cheese is soft and gooey.
Step 3
Once baked to perfection, carefully remove the warm Camembert cheese from the oven. Finish by drizzling a little more honey over the top, and if desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder for extra aroma and flavor. This warm, gooey Camembert cheese is absolutely delicious served with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh fruit. It’s the ultimate snack for wine or beer lovers!
