Preparation

  1. Prepare the apricots

    2 min

    Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits.

    Choose ripe but firm apricots so they hold their shape during baking.

  2. Assemble

    2 min

    Place the apricot halves in an oven-safe dish. Add a piece of camembert on top of each apricot half.

    Cut the cheese into pieces that fit neatly on the fruit.

  3. Add the walnuts

    1 min

    Top each apricot with half a walnut to add crunch and contrast.

    Lightly toasted walnuts will add even more flavor.

  4. Bake

    15 min

    Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–15 minutes, until the camembert is melted and slightly golden.

    Keep an eye on the cheese during the last few minutes to avoid overcooking.

  5. Serve

    1 min

    Serve hot straight from the oven as an appetizer or starter.

    Delicious with crusty bread or a green salad.

Notes & tips

Tips

  • Use ripe seasonal apricots for the best flavor.
