Produced in France, our Petit Normand Camembert is a soft cheese which is creamy and mild. Take a look at our recipe for Camembert with cooked figs and crusty bread to mix up your favourite cheese. The addition of figs provides a delicious combination that adds sweetness to the cheese.
Ingredients (serves 4-5)
6-12 ripe figs
2 tbsp good sherry vinegar
100ml red wine
50g walnut pieces
thyme sprigs
4 tbsp honey
Whole camembert
Crusty bread
Method
- Pre heat oven to 180c fan.
- Cut a cross in the tops of the figs nearly all way down but not quite.
- Place in a baking tray, big enough to hold all the figs, cut-side up.
- Mix together the vinegar and wine with some seasoning, and pour all over the figs.
- Scatter over the walnuts and thyme.
- Drizzle over the honey.
- Bake in oven for 15-20 mins until the figs start to become soft and sticky.
- Tuck the whole cheese in among the figs and put back in the oven for a final 5 minutes.
- Serve straight away with crusty bread.
