BAKED CAMEMBERT WITH HOT HONEY

One hot honey is infused with chilli and garlic to give a savoury edge to the cheesy fondue.

For the hot honey:

100g good quality runny honey

1 small garlic clove, crushed

1 tbsp chilli flakes

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 thyme sprig, plus extra to serve

1 Heat the oven to 180C/Gas 4. Put all the honey ingredients in a small saucepan and gently simmer for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

2 Put the cheese in a small, snug-fitting dish. If it comes in a wooden box, you can bake it directly in that, removing any packaging from the top first. Drizzle over 2 tbsp of the honey mixture and bake on a tray for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbling.

3 Drizzle the cheese with another 1 tbsp honey and serve while still hot, with toasted sourdough, plenty of colourful crudités, pickles and charcuterie.
