Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 round (approx. 250g) Camembert cheese (in its wooden box)
- 2 pieces, thinly sliced Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 serving Crusty bread or crackers
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Take the Camembert out of its plastic wrapping and place it back into the wooden box. If your Camembert does not have a wooden box, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring it is securely sealed to prevent leaks.
Score the top of the Camembert rind with a sharp knife, making a crisscross pattern. This will create openings for the garlic and rosemary flavors to seep in.
Gently insert the thinly sliced garlic and small tufts of rosemary sprigs into the cuts on the cheese.
Drizzle olive oil over the top of the scored Camembert. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Place the boxed Camembert on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is molten and gooey inside.
Carefully remove the Camembert from the oven. Place it on a serving plate and serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
