  • ½ cup flaked almonds

  • 1 Tbs honey

  • 2 Tbs butter

  • 2 Tsp caster sugar

  • Salt salt

  • You'll also need: 2 oven-proof ramekins

Method:

  • Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 220 degrees

  • Step 2:

    Gently remove both tops (white skin only) from the camembert wheels.

  • Step 3:

    Arrange the blueberries, raspberries and one twig of thyme (leaves only) around the top of one of the wheels, leaving the second wheel empty.

  • Step 4:

    Place both wheels into ramekins and bake for 15 minutes.

  • Step 5:

    Melt 1 TBS butter in a pan over medium heat, then add flaked almonds and cook until lightly browned, gently move them around the pan to avoid burning.

  • Step 6:

    Once almonds are browned, set aside and slice up your baguette

  • Step 7:

    Add 1 Tbs of butter to the same pan the almond was cooked in and start toasting half the baguette on both sides. Add more butter to the pan if needed.

  • Step 8:

    Once finished baking and remove the ramekins from the oven, lightly dust the wheel topped with berries with caster sugar, drizzle with honey and garnish with thyme.

  • Step 9:

    Top the second wheel with the buttery flaked almonds, sea salt and garnish with thyme.

  • Step 10:

    Once half the baguette is toasted layer it on a serving platter/ cheese board and dust with caster sugar. Place the berry and honey baked camembert next to it, then layer the fresh baguette next to the buttery almond baked camembert.

  • Step 11:

    Sprinkle fresh blueberries and raspberries around the platter (optional).

  • Step 12:

    Serve straight away so the camembert is warm and gooey. This dish is perfect for entertaining and it’s a sure crowd pleaser!
