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.

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: Brie and Camembert are both soft, creamy cheeses that are perfect for baking. Brie has a slightly milder flavor, while Camembert has a more pungent flavor. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your personal preference.
- Prepare the cheese properly: Before baking, remove the rind from the cheese and cut it into small pieces. This will help the cheese melt evenly and prevent it from becoming too runny.
- Use a good quality puff pastry: Puff pastry is the most common type of pastry used for baking brie or Camembert. Make sure to use a high-quality puff pastry that is made with butter, not margarine.
- Don't overbake the cheese: Brie and Camembert are both very delicate cheeses, so it's important not to overbake them. Bake them just until the cheese is melted and gooey in the center.
- Serve the cheese immediately: Baked brie or Camembert is best served immediately, while it is still warm and melted. You can serve it with crackers, bread, or fruit.

Baking brie or Camembert is a quick and easy way to create a delicious and impressive appetizer or dessert.
