  • 20 g Butter (a generous tablespoon)
  • 20 g Muscovado Sugar (1 tablespoon)
  • a pinch Salt
  • 1 tbsp Water

Method
 

  1. Peel and core the pears, placing them cut-side down in a metal dish suitable for your air fryer or oven.
  2. Add chunks of butter, sprinkle on the muscovado sugar, and add a pinch of salt. Drizzle with water.
  3. For the air fryer, set to roast mode at 185°C (365°F) and cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway. For the oven, preheat to 190°C (375°F) and roast for 20–30 minutes.
  4. Score the top of the Camembert in a crosshatch pattern, sprinkle thyme leaves and chopped nuts over it.

  6. Bake the Camembert in the air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 5-10 minutes, or in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 10-12 minutes.
