Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 round (approximately 250g) Low sodium Camembert cheese, whole
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Black pepper, freshly ground
- 300 grams Crusty bread or low sodium crackers, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Remove any plastic or paper wrapping from the camembert cheese.
Place the unwrapped cheese back into its wooden box, or if it does not have a wooden box, place it into a small, ovenproof dish lined with parchment paper.
Score the top of the camembert gently with a sharp knife, creating a crosshatch pattern without cutting all the way through the cheese.
Peel the garlic cloves and cut them into thin slices.
Gently poke the rosemary sprigs and garlic slices into the slits on the top of the camembert.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the cheese, ensuring some seeps into the slits.
Season with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
Place the camembert, in its dish or box, onto a baking tray to catch any potential spills.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve with crusty bread or low sodium crackers for dipping into the gooey, aromatic cheese.
