What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Equal Measures: Honeycomb Cheese Wheel! Remember when you were a kid and for fun you puckered up with those candy red wax lips? Me and my girlfriends would put them on, batt our eyes, sashay our hips, and laugh hysterically. Most often we’d find ourselves chewing on the sugary insides before spitting them out into tiny red blobs on our way home from school. I’m sure that made quite an impression on the neighborhood boys. Well today’s honeycomb is a distant cousin, twice-removed, to those artificial candy lips. Even better, raw honeycomb is completely safe to eat and naturally sweet. A little goes a long way simply because it is seeping with honey. Dress it up with a wheel of Camembert or Brie cheese, seasoned with a clove of garlic and a couple of sprigs from the herb garden. Spread it across baguette slices for an open-air treat.
HONEYCOMB CHEESE WHEEL
Ingredients:
1 wheel Camembert cheese
1 garlic clove, sliced
1 sprig rosemary
2 sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Small section honeycomb
Instruction:
Preheat oven to 350°. Remove cheese from plastic wrap. Return cheese to its wooden box. Place box on a baking sheet. Take a knife and score a criss-cross pattern halfway through the cheese. Tuck garlic clove slices in the cuts. Sprinkle rosemary and thyme herbs over top. Drizzle butter over all. Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes until cheese is soft, bubbling, and fragrant. Serve immediately by spreading the golden cheese over toasted baguette slices. Then spoon the oozing honeycomb pieces over all. Garnish with fresh herbs.
Now, Gail, this is a spectacular dish!!

God these seem irresistible; the foto should be illegal.
I began sprinkling rosemary on top of my son’s bacon some mornings and he goes crazy for it.

Rosemary is way underrated, in my opinion. On occasion, I can find crackers made with olive oil and rosemary. On those days, a box goes straight into the shopping cart. 😍🌿
