Ingredients

  • ½ large baguette, sliced diagonally into 8 x 1cm pieces
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp runny honey
  • 20g Président unsalted butter
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • 250g Président camembert, sliced into 16 pieces
  • 4 figs, each sliced into 4
  • Few sprigs fresh thyme

Method

1.  Heat the grill to high and toast the baguette slices on both sides until lightly golden. Meanwhile, add the balsamic vinegar and honey to a small pan and bring to the boil. Bubble briefly until you achieve a syrupy consistency, then set aside.

2.  In a separate pan, melt the Président unsalted butter and brush it over the toasted baguette slices, before rubbing with the cut sides of the garlic clove. Top each baguette slice with two slices of Président camembert and fig. Drizzle over the balsamic and honey mixture, season well, then scatter over the thyme leaves. Serve immediately.
