3 Easy Recipes Using Australian Honeycomb
Share
Australian raw honeycomb is one of nature's most extraordinary foods — pure, unfiltered, and straight from the hive. But beyond eating it straight off a spoon (which we fully endorse), honeycomb is a surprisingly versatile ingredient that can elevate both sweet and savoury dishes. Here are three easy recipes to get you started.
1. Honeycomb & Ricotta Toast
This is the ultimate lazy weekend breakfast that looks like it came from a fancy café.
You'll need:
- 2 thick slices of sourdough, toasted
- 4 tablespoons fresh ricotta
- 2 pieces of Australian raw honeycomb
- A handful of fresh figs or strawberries
- A pinch of sea salt flakes
Method: Spread ricotta generously over each slice of toast. Place a piece of honeycomb on top and let it sit for a minute so the honey begins to ooze into the ricotta. Add sliced figs or strawberries, finish with a pinch of sea salt, and serve immediately.
2. Honeycomb & Cheese Platter
Honeycomb and cheese is a classic pairing that never fails to impress guests. The floral sweetness of the honeycomb cuts beautifully through the richness of aged cheeses.
You'll need:
- Australian raw honeycomb
- A selection of cheeses — try aged cheddar, brie, and blue cheese
- Crackers or sliced baguette
- Walnuts or almonds
- Fresh grapes or dried apricots
Method: Arrange your cheeses on a board. Place the honeycomb in the centre as the hero ingredient. Fill in with crackers, nuts, and fruit. Let guests help themselves and watch the honeycomb disappear first.
3. Honeycomb Yoghurt Bowl
A nourishing breakfast or snack that takes less than five minutes to put together.
You'll need:
- 1 cup thick Greek yoghurt
- 1 piece of Australian raw honeycomb
- A handful of granola
- Fresh berries
- A sprinkle of chia seeds
Method: Spoon yoghurt into a bowl. Top with granola and fresh berries. Place the honeycomb on top and drizzle any extra honey over the bowl. Sprinkle with chia seeds and enjoy.
