Baked Camembert Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Unwrap 250g camembert, brie or similar from its packaging, then place back into its box. Tie string around the box to secure.
• Slash the cheese a few times and top with 1 tbsp vermouth, dry white wine or kirsch, 2 thyme sprigs and a pinch of dried chilli flakes.
• Bake on a baking tray for 20 mins until gooey. Serve with toasted bread or crackers for dipping.

Steps:

• Remove the paper or plastic inner wrapping on the cheese and return the cheese to the round wooden box.
• Bake, wooden box and all, in a preheated 350F oven, or in the microwave, until the cheese is warm and runny under the rind. Top with preserves and nuts if desired, or serve alone with crackers for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove Camembert from wooden box and remove and discard any plastic wrapping. Place wheel of cheese back into the wooden box.
• Using a sharp knife, score the top of the cheese in a crisscross pattern about 1-inch deep. If desired, remove the top rind.
• Press garlic slices into the scores. Sprinkle with rosemary and thyme leaves, pushing a few into the scores. Drizzle top of Camembert cheese with olive oil and season with freshly cracked salt and pepper. Wrap box with foil to prevent drips (leaving the top open) and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the foil. Serve the cheese in its box immediately.
