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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Peel the garlic clove and slice it thinly.

Step 5

Insert the garlic slices into the gaps created by the crisscross pattern on the cheese.

Step 6

Distribute the rosemary sprigs across the top of the cheese, tucking small sprigs into the openings.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the surface of the Camembert.

Step 8

Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Place the Camembert on a baking tray to catch any melted cheese that might overflow.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is soft and gooey in the center.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Serve immediately with crusty bread or toast for dipping.
