Ingredients
  

For croutons:

  • 3 croissants cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt to taste

For Camembert:

  • 1/2 cup dried apricots chopped
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 8-ounce imported Camembert wheel

Instructions
 

For croutons:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and adjust oven racks to top-third and bottom-third position. Arrange croissant pieces on rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Season with salt, to taste. Bake, on top rack, flipping croissant pieces halfway through, until golden-brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

For Camembert:

  • Meanwhile, combine dried apricots, almonds, honey, thyme and salt in small bowl. Score a diamond pattern on top of Camembert wheel with a sharp knife. Place Camembert in small baking dish. Top with apricot mixture. Bake, on bottom rack, until Camembert is very soft and melted on the inside, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with croutons for dipping, and enjoy.
