How to make Camembert Baked in Puff Pastry and Served with Roast Pecan Nuts and Chilli Honey

Collect all your ingredients together:

• pre-rolled puff pastry
• small, round Camembert or Brie
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• fresh thyme
• egg wash
• sesame seeds
• pecan nuts
• Hot Chilli Honey

Serving suggestions:

• warm fresh bread or garlic bread
• fresh salad
• new potatoes
• sliced apple

Now, quickly make it:

1. Unroll the pastry and trim to make a square shape 9ins x 9ins. Leave on the baking parchment and place on a baking sheet.
2. Unwrap the Camembert and remove most of the top of the cheese leaving a rim of rind on the top to help the cheese keep its shape as it cooks.
3. Place the cheese in the centre of the pastry.
4. Grind over some salt and pepper and scatter over some fresh thyme.
5. Bring the corners of the pastry to the centre of the cheese and press the edges of the pastry roughly together, rather like wrapping a parcel. Leave some gaps for the air to escape.
6. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
7. Scatter the pecan nuts on the tray, next to the cheese parcel
8. Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven for 8 minutes, take out of the oven, remove the nuts and put the cheese back in the oven for a further 15 – 20 minutes, until the pastry is risen, crispy and golden.
9. Chop the pecan nuts
10. To serve: slice the cheese, scatter over the pecan nuts and drizzle over the Hot Chilli Honey. Serve with your choice of accompaniments.
11. Dive in!
