Ingredients
– 150g mushrooms
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
– 1 teaspoon truffle oil
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 30g pine nuts
– 1 garlic clove (sliced)
– 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
– 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
– 150g frozen cranberries
– 50g caster sugar
– 50ml port
– 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
– 60g pecan halves
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon soft brown sugar
– 250g Camembert
Instructions
1-Begin with the Camembert: Preheat the oven to 190Β°C (fan 170Β°C/gas mark 5). Take a 250g Camembert, remove its lid and wrapping, and place it back in its wooden box base. Put the base inside the upturned lid and set it on a baking tray. Cut slits into the top of the cheese for even melting, then bake for 15 minutes until itβs fully melted and gooey.
2-For Mushroom, Tarragon, and Truffle Camembert: Fry 150g mushrooms in 1 tablespoon butter until golden. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, then top the baked Camembert with this mixture and drizzle with 1 teaspoon truffle oil.
3-For Pine Nut, Rosemary, and Garlic Camembert: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and cook 30g pine nuts until light golden. Add 1 sliced garlic clove and cook for 1 minute, then stir in 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary and cook for another minute. Spoon over the baked Camembert and scatter 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley on top.
4-For Cranberry, Port, and Thyme Camembert: Heat 150g frozen cranberries with 50g caster sugar and 50ml port until the sugar dissolves. Simmer until the mixture turns jammy, then stir in 1 teaspoon thyme leaves and spoon over the baked Camembert.
5-For Maple Pecan Camembert: Heat 60g pecan halves with 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 tablespoon soft brown sugar until the sugar melts and the nuts are glazed. Spoon the topping onto the baked Camembert.
6-After assembling, let the toppers rest for a minute before serving. This helps the flavors blend. For variations, adjust based on your needs, like going vegan with plant-based cheese.
