Ingredients
Scale
- 1 mature Camembert wheel (about 250 g)
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 125 g apple compote
- 50 g toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (390 °F). Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each into a 20 cm circle.
- Place one circle on a baking sheet, set the Camembert wheel in the centre and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese begins to soften.
- Meanwhile, spread the apple compote onto the second pastry circle and sprinkle the toasted hazelnuts evenly over the compote.
- Remove the first circle from the oven, drizzle a thin layer of honey over the cheese if desired, then place the second pastry circle on top. Seal the edges and brush the surface with a beaten egg.
- Return the assembled tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20‑25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
- Allow the tart to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 8 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, ensure the puff pastry is egg‑free. Hazelnuts can be substituted with almonds or walnuts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
