I used the following simple recipe...
Preparation time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 10-15 mins
Ingredients: 1 Camembert, 2 sliced garlic cloves, a few sprigs of fresh thyme, salt, pepper and olive oil
- Pre-heat the oven to 200C.
- Take the Camembert out of its wrapper and place back into the wood (sometimes with a cardboard base) box.
- Place the Camembert on a sheet of baking paper on a baking tray.
- Pierce the top of the Camembert and insert pieces of sliced garlic and fresh thyme. NB. I like to use lots of garlic (i.e. 2 cloves), however you can adjust for your own personal taste.
- Sprinkle with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and a generous drizzle of olive oil.
- Place in the oven for 10-15 mins, or until the cheese is melted.
- Serve with warmed french loaf and a glass of full bodied red wine!
Chris and I shared one between us with a small french baguette and it was a perfect portion size for two. I loved the softened garlic slices in with the cheese and the thyme gives a subtle infusion of flavour. I will definitely be making this again soon... such a simple dish to make and really, really tasty!

ReplyDeleteHi Charlie!
ReplyDeleteI saw that you had joined and thought that Julia had been behind it!! I'm still a bit new to blogging, however am getting more used to it now. I have been really bad at drumming up followers, so your help is very appreciated!
I have no idea how bad the baked camembert is... I prefer to live in gentle ignorance on that one ;-) However it is one of the nicest and simplest dishes that I have made recently and I am already thinking of when I can make it again!!
Julia is popping in shortly for some red wine (good for the throat I hear) ;-) and x-factor. Perfect Sunday tv!!
I hope you have a nice evening too!
