Warmed Camembert with Caramelized Figs

By Shadesofcinnamon

 
Try this simple but stylish recipe to enjoy as a casual finger supper.  Its a winning combination of warm gooey cheese, toasted nuts and rosemary enfused honey with the sweet taste of fresh figs.  Team it with chunks of hot crusty farmstyle bread or crackers, and a good bottle of white wine.
 
 
Cut the top skin from the Camembert leaving an edge to keep the inside contained. Warm the honey with 1 tablespoon of water and enfuse the rosemary sprigs.  Pour the honey into the cut out portion of the camembert, top with almonds and a sprig of rosemary and bake until the cheese is runny inside and firm on the outside . You must watch the cheese, because if left too long it will melt completely and loose its shape.
 
 
 For a cheats version of this recipe pour honey straight from the bottle onto the cheese, and add the  nuts.  Cook for the required time.  Use fresh figs instead of caramelizing them.
