Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 wheel Camembert cheese (whole wheel)
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Walnuts (chopped)
- 1 sprig Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
- 1 loaf/box Baguette or crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Unwrap the Camembert from its packaging and place it back in its wooden box. If the box has a stapled bottom, line it with a piece of parchment paper to prevent leakage. Alternatively, place the Camembert on a small ovenproof dish.
Using a sharp knife, score the top rind of the Camembert in a crosshatch pattern, cutting just through the rind but not too deep into the cheese.
Peel the ginger and finely grate it. Mix the grated ginger with honey in a small bowl.
Pour the honey-ginger mixture evenly over the top of the Camembert, letting it seep into the cuts.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top.
Place the prepared Camembert in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and oozy in the center.
Carefully remove the Camembert from the oven and let it cool for a minute. If desired, garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme for added aroma and presentation.
Serve immediately with slices of baguette or crackers for dipping. Enjoy the gooey, flavorful cheese with the sweet and spicy ginger topping!
