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:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh herbs, cheese, and garlic will give your dip the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the garlic. Garlic can quickly burn and become bitter, so be careful not to cook it for too long.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your dip. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Add some heat. If you like spicy food, you can add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to your dip.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers. You can serve your thyme garlic cheese dip with crackers, bread, vegetables, or chips.

Conclusion:

Thyme garlic cheese dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh herbs, cheese, and garlic, and can be served with a variety of dippers. Whether you are hosting a party or just looking for a tasty snack, thyme garlic cheese dip is sure to be a hit.
