Ingredients

1 whole Camembert cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons honey
1 pinch sea salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
Sliced baguette or crackers (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

Pour vegetable oil onto three paper napkins.
Place the napkins inside the grill and stack firewood over them.
Light the paper napkins and allow the fire to build.
Wait about 20 minutes until the cooktop reaches an even heat.

Step 2: Preheat the Cooktop

Add a small amount of butter to the flat cooktop griddle.
Place the whole Camembert on the flat cooktop, slightly closer to the center where the heat is higher.
Allow the cheese to sear for about 3 minutes on one side.

Step 3: Flip and Infuse with Rosemary

Carefully flip the Camembert using a spatula to sear the other side.
Place a sprig of fresh rosemary on top of the cheese while cooking.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is soft and the crust is golden.

Step 4: Drizzle with Honey and Serve

Remove the Camembert from the grill and place it on a serving dish.
Drizzle honey generously over the top.
Season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve immediately with sliced baguette or crackers.

Tips

For an extra crispy crust, lightly score the top of the Camembert before placing it on the grill.
Use high-quality honey to enhance the natural sweetness of the dish.
Monitor the heat: keep the cheese on a medium-heat section of the Arteflame cooktop to prevent burning.

Variations

Nutty Delight: Sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans over the cheese before drizzling with honey.
Spiced Kick: Add a pinch of chili flakes for a sweet and spicy contrast.
Garlic Infused: Rub a cut clove of garlic over the cheese before grilling for an extra depth of flavor.
Fruit & Cheese: Top with thinly sliced pears or figs for a sweet and savory experience.
Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle with balsamic reduction instead of honey for a tangy twist.

Grilled Camembert with Rosemary and Honey is an effortless yet indulgent dish that will impress any guest. With the Arteflame grill, you achieve the perfect balance of melted, creamy cheese with a golden crust, beautifully complemented by rosemary and honey.
