Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Camembert cheese
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 loaf Crusty bread or toast
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Remove the Camembert cheese from its packaging and place it back into the wooden box, if applicable. Alternatively, place it in a small, ovenproof dish.
Using a sharp knife, score the top of the Camembert in a crisscross pattern. This will allow the flavors to infuse the cheese as it bakes.
Peel the garlic clove and slice it thinly.
Insert the garlic slices into the gaps created by the crisscross pattern on the cheese.
Distribute the rosemary sprigs across the top of the cheese, tucking small sprigs into the openings.
Drizzle the olive oil over the surface of the Camembert.
Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Place the Camembert on a baking tray to catch any melted cheese that might overflow.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is soft and gooey in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Serve immediately with crusty bread or toast for dipping.
