Instructions
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Tear the ciabatta into large chunks and thread two or three chunks onto the rosemary sticks.
Remove the wax paper from the camembert and score the top with a cross hatch pattern using a sharp knife, stud with a little of the rosemary and garlic, splash over a little wine and place either back in the box, or in a camembert baker.
Arrange all the ingredients (except the California walnuts) on a baking tray with the camembert at the centre. Drizzle everything with the olive oil, honey and sherry vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, then sprinkle over the California walnuts and bake for a further 10 minutes - or until the walnuts are golden brown and the grapes have released some of their juices.
Place the tray directly onto the table to serve, dipping the walnuts, bread and grapes into the gooey camembert.
