Steps:
- For the balsamic marinated roast beef: Put the balsamic vinegar, chopped garlic and black pepper in a small saute pan over medium to high heat and reduce for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the chopped rosemary and olive oil, and allow the mixture to cool.
- Put the marinade in a baking pan, put the beef in the pan and coat with hands. Put in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, maximum 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and remove the marinated beef from the refrigerator. Put the beef in the oven and roast for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, until cooked to medium-rare and an instant thermometer inserted in the center of the roast has an internal temperature between 130 and 140 degrees F.
- Remove the beef from the oven and allow the beef to rest before slicing.
- For the mashed potatoes: Cook the potatoes in enough heavily salted water to cover, until tender. Drain the potatoes, reserving 3 tablespoons of the water. Put the potatoes back into the hot pot and using a potato ricer, rice the potatoes or mash.
- Put the butter, olive oil, and reserved potato water in the pot with the potatoes. Season the potatoes with salt. Gently fold the ingredients together until incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
- For the baked camembert and herb oil: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking dish or oven-proof saute pan with parchment paper.
- Put the thyme, marjoram, rosemary, black pepper, and olive oil in a bowl and mix to incorporate.
- Put the bottom half of the Camembert on parchment paper. Spoon 1 tablespoon herb oil in the center of Camembert, place the top half on top and pour 1 tablespoon herb oil over top. Place the Camembert in the oven until the cheese has melted, approximately 10 minutes.
- For the sauteed mushrooms: Put the remaining herb oil and butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Put the mushrooms in the hot pan and saute until slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper, and then remove from the heat.
- To assemble: To serve, place the roast beef and mashed potatoes on a warm plate and spoon the sauteed mushrooms and baked Camembert over the meat and potatoes.
BAKED GARLIC, BASIL AND CAMEMBERT STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
I have based this on my Easy Garlic and Basil Stuffed Chicken Breasts as a variation. I used panko but you could use plain dried breadcrumbs. This recipe can easily be doubled.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the camembert from the box and discard any wax paper packaging. Take a 10-inch square of foil and place in the box. Place the camembert inside.
- Pierce the top of the camembert with the tip of a knife and push in the slices of garlic. Sprinkle the thyme leaves over the top and drizzle with the maple syrup. Loosely scrunch the foil up over the cheese. Set aside.
- Brush two 12-inch square sheets (the size of your baking sheet) of parchment paper with oil. Line a baking sheet with one of the oiled parchment sheets, oil-side up. Spread the slices of baguette over the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with crushed sea salt. Place the remaining sheet of parchment, oil-side down, over the bread.
- Place in the oven with the camembert and cook both for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese has risen and the bread is crisp. Open up the foil and dip in the hot baguette for a simple snack. Delicious!
BAKED CAMEMBERT CHEESE
I love brie and camembert, and have baked them on my own several times. I have never encountered an actual recipe, though, so here is one that approximates my own method. I have used raspberry jam, but I think that the camembert (or brie) stands well on its own! I serve this as an appetizer with crackers or pieces of toasted baguette. Yum!!!

Steps:
- Remove the paper or plastic inner wrapping on the cheese and return the cheese to the round wooden box.
- Bake, wooden box and all, in a preheated 350F oven, or in the microwave, until the cheese is warm and runny under the rind. Top with preserves and nuts if desired, or serve alone with crackers for dipping.
HERB AND GARLIC BAKED CAMEMBERT
Steps:
- Heat:
- The oven to 350°F.
- Assemble:
- Most Camembert comes in a little wooden crate. If yours does, remove the crate lid and any packaging or wrappers around the cheese, and place it back inside the basket. Yes, it is safe to bake it right in there for the short time that this recipe calls for. If you're nervous about leakage, you can wrap the Camembert in foil or line the basket with parchment paper as a layer of protection. Place the cheese in the wooden crate on a baking tray.
- With a thin sharp knife, make gridlike cuts in the cheese, 3 or 4 in each direction, about 1 inch apart and going about 1 inch deep into the cheese but without cutting through the bottom rind. Use your knife tip to "open" each cut and your fingers to press a little sliver of garlic into each cut. Combine the olive oil with the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small dish. Spread thickly on top of the cheese.
- Bake:
- For 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is loose inside the rind. Serve immediately with crackers.
CAMEMBERT BAKED IN THE BOX WITH GARLIC
I got this recipe from a Nigel Slater cook book but when I made it I altered it to include chopped garlic as I think it makes it nicer. Really nice although Camembert can be a bit smelly!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400F degrees.
- Dip cheese in the milk, both sides and the edges.
- Dip in Shake& Bake, Dip twice if you have to.

- Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Place cheese on a rack in a pan (in case it leaks) or place on a piece of "Release" tin foil on a tray
- Bake for 20 min or until you can see that it has puffed.
- Put buns, (or baquette) in the oven about 10 minutes before serving wrapped in foil.
- Serve hot and smear the cheese on the hot bread
Tips:
- Choose a ripe Camembert cheese. A good Camembert cheese will have a soft, creamy texture and a slightly runny center.
- Use a sharp knife to score the top of the cheese. This will help the cheese to melt evenly and prevent it from cracking.
- Bake the cheese at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the cheese from burning or becoming too runny.
- Serve the cheese immediately. Baked Camembert is best enjoyed when it is still warm and gooey.
- Accompany the cheese with your favorite accompaniments. Some popular options include crackers, bread, fruit, and nuts.
Conclusion:
Baked Camembert is a classic French appetizer that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and endless possibilities for accompaniments, it's the perfect dish for any occasion.
