Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1 wheel Camembert cheese, cut into bite-sized cubes

Coating

  • ½ cup finely chopped pecans

Glaze

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fig jam
  • 1 tsp butter (optional, for thinning the glaze)

Garnish

  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh thyme for garnish

Serving Options (Optional)

  • Mini phyllo cups or toasted baguette slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Camembert: Slice the Camembert wheel into even, bite-sized cubes to ensure consistency in serving size and flavor.
  2. Coat with Pecans: Roll each Camembert cube in the finely chopped pecans, pressing gently so the coating adheres well to each piece, creating a crunchy exterior.
  3. Make the Fig Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the honey and fig jam. Optionally add butter and warm the mixture in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to thin the glaze, making it easier to drizzle.
  4. Assemble the Bites: Arrange the pecan-crusted Camembert cubes on a serving platter or place them delicately inside mini phyllo cups or on toasted baguette slices if using.
  5. Drizzle and Garnish: Generously drizzle the fig glaze over the pecan-coated Camembert bites. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and a few fresh thyme leaves to enhance flavor and presentation.
  6. Serve Immediately: For the best texture and taste, serve these bites immediately so the cheese remains creamy and the pecan coating stays crisp.

Notes

  • Use fresh Camembert cheese for the best creamy texture.
  • Chop pecans finely for a better coating that sticks well.
  • The glaze can be warmed gently to make drizzling easier, but avoid overheating to preserve flavor.
  • Serving on toasted baguette slices adds crunch and makes it more filling.
  • Can be made ahead but assemble and drizzle glaze just before serving to keep pecans crunchy.
