Baked Camembert Figs with Sweet Crumb
This recipe is embarrassingly simple but
like most simple recipes it results in great food. The Camembert is such a
great match for the figs but I pondered over the need for that sweet crunch, so
I developed this simple to make sweet Crumb.
You
will need;
5 – Fresh Figs
150 Gm - Camembert
For
the sweet crumb;
2 desert spoons – Fresh Breadcrumbs
1 desert spoon – Demerara Sugar
25 Ml – water
Snip the stalks from the figs and cut
them from top to bottom in a cross but don’t cut all the way through.
Take a piece of Camembert, roll it into
a ball and put it in to the centre of the fig closing the fig onto it and set
side.
To make the crumb put the water in a pan
on a medium heat and add the sugar, keep stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Allow the syrup to cool a little then
add the breadcrumbs and make a paste.
Spread a thin layer of the paste on top
of the figs, you can make wafer thin biscuit shapes with the rest of the paste
for a garnish.
Place in a pre-heated 190°c oven for 10
minutes.
When you take them out of the oven they
will have opened out and the cheese will have diminished, you will have just
the right hint of Camembert when you bite into them.
Delicious hot or cold
