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

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.

Tips:

  • Use a ripe Camembert cheese. A ripe Camembert cheese will have a soft, gooey center that will melt perfectly in the oven. Avoid using a cheese that is too firm or hard, as it will not melt as well.
  • Score the top of the cheese. Scoring the top of the cheese helps the cheese to melt evenly and prevents it from exploding in the oven. To score the cheese, use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in a criss-cross pattern.
  • Add your favorite toppings. You can add a variety of toppings to your baked Camembert cheese. Some popular options include garlic, herbs, nuts, and fruit. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Bake the cheese until it is melted and bubbly. The baking time will vary depending on the size of your cheese. A small cheese will take about 15 minutes to bake, while a large cheese may take up to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the cheese and remove it from the oven when it is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the cheese immediately. Baked Camembert cheese is best served immediately, while it is still warm and gooey. Serve the cheese with crackers, bread, or vegetables for dipping.

Conclusion:

Baked Camembert cheese is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy this classic French cheese. With its creamy, gooey center and crispy, golden crust, baked Camembert cheese is sure to be a hit with your guests.
