Ingredients

  • 1 wheel of Danish Camembert cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Fresh baguette or crackers, for serving
  • Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

  1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
  2. Place the soaked napkins inside the grill and stack firewood on top.
  3. Light the napkins and allow the fire to burn for about 20 minutes until the grill reaches optimal temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the Camembert

  1. Unwrap the Camembert and let it rest at room temperature while the grill heats up.
  2. Brush both sides of the cheese with melted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Grill the cheese

  1. Place the Camembert onto the flat cooktop griddle near the center for higher heat.
  2. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the cheese is warm and slightly softened.
  3. Gently remove with a spatula to avoid breaking the cheese.

Step 4: Toast the nuts

  1. Move the cheese to a cooler zone on the griddle.
  2. Add the chopped nuts to the hot cooking surface and toast them for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5: Assemble and serve

  1. Transfer the grilled Camembert to a serving plate.
  2. Drizzle honey over the top.
  3. Sprinkle with toasted nuts and fresh thyme if using.
  4. Serve immediately with slices of fresh baguette or crackers.

Tips

  • Grill the cheese on a well-buttered area to prevent sticking.
  • Use a spatula to gently flip the cheese for even grilling.
  • Test the cheese by lightly pressing; it should feel soft but not collapse.
  • Experiment with different types of nuts for varied flavors.
  • Drizzle with a touch of truffle honey for an elevated experience.

Variations

  1. Smoky Bacon Camembert: Add crispy bacon bits on top for a savory bite.
  2. Fig & Walnut Camembert: Replace honey with fig jam and use walnuts for an earthy taste.
  3. Spiced Honey Camembert: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the honey for heat.
  4. Citrus Glaze Camembert: Use orange blossom honey with a zest of lemon for brightness.
  5. Caramelized Onion Camembert: Top with grilled caramelized onions for a sweet-savory pairing.
