The Monthly Blend: Baked Camembert with Black Truffles, Marcona Almonds, and Rhododendron Honey.

Camembert is a small disc of surfaced-ripened cheese. In appearance, it’s very much like Brie with its rumpled, blemish-speckled downy rind. And in flavor it is much more delicious, with a grassy tone and earthy richness that surpass those of Brie. Camembert is at its best from November until April and is considered at its peak when it is soft but not runny. Sickles steadfastly carries the handmade La Petite Reine. Producer: Gillot Dairy. Normandy, France. Cow Milk. Here’s a fun fact: It takes two quarts of milk to make one Camembert

Here’s What You’ll Need: 1 8.8oz wheel of Camembert 3 tablespoons Rhododendron Honey ½ cup Marcona Almonds, roughly chopped ½ oz Regalis Preserved Black Truffle 1 tablespoon olive oil Freshly cracked black pepper

Here’s What You’ll Do: Set the Camembert out at room temperature. Leave it in its packaging, in an area free of drafts and excessive light. Go the full monty and leave it out for 24 hours. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees. Take Camembert out of its packaging and place on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, pierce the rind and start to cut a circle on top of the cheese. Peel back the rind carefully, as you want to keep it in tack. Use a small spoon to scrape away a teaspoon of cheese. Set this scraped cheese on a small dish and snack away as you wait for your Camembert to bake! Finely grate a ½ oz of the black truffle over the exposed paste of the Camembert. Drizzle the olive oil on top and add a few cracks of black pepper. Cover the now seasoned paste with the circle of rind you removed earlier. Wrap the cheese in parchment paper and then tightly wrap in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped cheese on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Take the Camembert out of the oven and place on a cooling rack.

Allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and the parchment paper and place the cheese on a serving dish. Garnish the cheese with Marcona Almonds and finish by drizzling the Rhododendron honey on top. Serve with plenty of bread, fresh pear slices, and breakfast radishes.

Eat what you love,
