Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 x 9oz camembert in its wooden box
1 garlic clove, peeled and sliced into matchsticks
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 small baguette, cut into 1/2 in slices
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
crushed sea salt

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!

### Tips
  1. Choose the right camembert. Look for a cheese made from pasteurized or unpasteurized cow's milk with a bloomy rind. The cheese should be soft and ripe, with a slightly runny interior.
  2. Prepare the camembert. Cut the top off the cheese, then score the interior in a crisscross pattern. This will help the cheese to melt evenly.
  3. Bake the camembert. Place the cheese on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Serve the camembert. Serve the camembert immediately with bread, crackers, or fruit.
### Conclusion Camembert is a delicious and versatile cheese that can be enjoyed in many different ways. These tips will help you to make the perfect baked camembert every time. Here are some additional tips for making baked camembert:
  • For a richer flavor, use a triple-crème camembert.
  • To add some extra sweetness, drizzle the camembert with honey or maple syrup before baking.
