As a passionate home chef with years of experimenting in the kitchen, I've found the perfect upgrade to the classic warm goat cheese salad: our honey-roasted Camembert salad. It's creamy, caramelized, and bursting with flavor—simple to make yet feels gourmet.
Ingredients for Two
- Two small Camemberts (or one regular to share) in wooden boxes
- 4 tablespoons liquid honey
- Arugula, lamb's lettuce, or mixed greens
- Pine nuts
- Walnut kernels
- Fresh thyme
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Remove paper wrappers from Camemberts.
- Place back in wooden boxes (or small dishes) without lids.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Wash and dry the greens; arrange on two plates, leaving space for cheese.
- Scatter walnut kernels over greens.
- Heat honey in a small saucepan over low heat (do not boil).
- Quickly toast pine nuts in a pan.
- Sprinkle pine nuts over salads.
- Remove Camemberts from oven.
- Drizzle with warm honey.
- Place on plates.
- Sprinkle with thyme.
- Serve immediately!
The Result
Ooey-gooey honey-roasted Camembert atop fresh greens—pure bliss! Customize with seasonal add-ins like tomatoes, diced apples, grapes, potatoes, or prosciutto. Dress lightly with olive oil and pair with crusty country bread for the ultimate experience.
