Baked Camembert with Walnuts, Honey and Rosemary Ingredients
This appetizer is so easy to make, with only 4 ingredients needed! A 5 minute prep time, followed by 15 minutes bake time means this is a quick and easy appy that goes perfectly at cocktail hour.
Here’s all you need:
- camembert cheese
- honey
- rosemary
- walnuts

Remove any plastic wrapping around the wheel of Camembert before returning it to the box.
Start by preheating the oven to 350ºF. Unwrap the box of camembert and then remove any plastic packaging around the cheese.
Then, return the camembert back to the box.

Here’s where you will be adding your nuts and honey!
Use a sharp knife to gently score around the edge of the camembert, cutting away the rind.
Lift off the ‘lid’ and discard. Now, it’s time to add our fillings.

This tasty spread is looking pretty!
Layer the walnuts in the Camembert. Then add your rosemary (or whatever herb you like).
Then, drizzle with honey all over the rosemary and walnuts. I use about 2 tablespoons worth, but freely use more if you like.
Some recipes call for olive oil, but we prefer using just lots of honey for this tasty dish!

Wrap the cheese tightly in foil and place in a baking dish.
Carefully wrap the cheese tightly in tin foil and then bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Serving Baked Camembert with Walnuts and Honey Appetizer

Use a small knife for spreading, or dip hearty bread pieces into the Camembert.
Remove the cheese from the tin foil and place on a serving platter. Arrange crackers around and serve.
Or, serve on a small pedestal to show off the pretty cheese box. On a separate platter, arrange small pieces of a heavy bread and add a small knife for spreading.
This creamy cheese dip is the perfect pairing for yummy Butterscotch Schnapps cocktails or some fruity Peach Shooters.

Whole grain crackers are the perfect choice, such as these flatbreads, or use some quality Carr crackers like these.
