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!

Baked Brie and Camembert, rescued from the ordinary, are even better with an herby garlicky mess slathered over them before hitting the oven.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 [8-to-9-ounce (225-to-255-gram)] wheel Camembert
1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large garlic clove, sliced very thin
Crackers, preferably long enough to dip with, for serving

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.

If you have a hot date or an important business meeting later on, this dish is best avoided. If, however, your calendar is free for the rest of the day, then Camembert and roasted garlic is a most pleasurable snack.

Provided by Lorraine Pascale

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bulbs of garlic, unpeeled with the tops sliced off
3 tbsp/1 1/2 oz/40g butter
Scant 1/3 cup/3fl oz/80ml extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 squidge of honey
2 fresh rosemary sprigs
3 bay leaves
7 to 9oz/200 to 250g Camembert, plastic wrapping and lid removed but still in its wooden box, at room temperature
1 French baguette, ripped into 4in/10cm pieces and sliced horizontally

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place the garlic cut side down in a large roasting pan. Add the butter, oil, a pinch of salt, a couple of twists of black pepper, the honey, rosemary, and bay leaves and bake in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes. After 30 to 35 minutes, put a large cross in the top of the Camembert and add it to the oven. Make sure the plastic covering and lid is removed, but it is still in its cardboard box. Add the French baguette to warm up too.
  • Once the garlic is soft, the bread is extra crunchy, and the cheese is all soft and gooey, remove from the oven.
  • Serve everything on a big sharing plate. Break off a piece of crusty bread, then squeeze out the tender flesh of the garlic along with a healthy dose of cheese and smear it liberally over the bread.
  • Serve with a chutney or relish and a good glass of red wine.

Tips:

  • Choose a ripe Camembert cheese that is firm to the touch and has a slightly pungent smell.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the top of the cheese in a crisscross pattern, about 1/2-inch deep, to help the cheese melt evenly.
  • Stuff the cheese with your favorite herbs and garlic. Some popular options include thyme, rosemary, sage, and basil.
  • Wrap the cheese in aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Serve the cheese warm with crackers, bread, or vegetables. Drizzle the cheese with honey or balsamic vinegar for an extra touch of flavor.

The herbs and garlic add a delicious savory flavor that complements the cheese perfectly. This recipe is also very versatile, so you can customize it to your own taste.
