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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Gently insert the thinly sliced garlic and small tufts of rosemary sprigs into the cuts on the cheese.
Step 5
Drizzle olive oil over the top of the scored Camembert. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Carefully remove the Camembert from the oven. Place it on a serving plate and serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
