Notes:
* This recipe is best enjoyed when the strawberries are at their peak of sweetness and ripeness. Look for fresh, vibrant strawberries for the most flavourful results.
* Feel free to adjust the amount of honey and black pepper according to your personal taste preferences. Add a little more honey for extra sweetness or a touch more black pepper for a subtle hint of spice.
* The balsamic vinegar adds a tangy and slightly acidic flavour that beautifully complements the sweetness of the strawberries and richness of the Camembert.
* When making the cross cut on the Camembert, be gentle to avoid splitting it apart completely. The cut allows the cheese to melt and ooze while retaining its shape during baking.
* As the Camembert bakes, it will become soft and gooey on the inside. Keep an eye on the oven to prevent overcooking and ensure that the cheese remains slightly firm and holds its shape.
* The basil garnish adds a refreshing herbal note and visually enhances the dish. If you don't have basil on hand, you can substitute it with other fresh herbs like mint or thyme.
* Serve the Luscious Strawberry Camembert Bake with crispy crostini or toasted bread slices to scoop up the melted cheese and strawberries. It makes for a delightful appetiser
* This dish is best enjoyed immediately while the Camembert is warm and gooey. Leftovers can be refrigerated, but note that the cheese will solidify when cold. Simply reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving again.
