Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220°/gas 7.

2. Unwrap the cheese and carefully slice the rind off the top of the cheese. Return the cheese to its box, cut side up. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle over thyme and drizzle over the olive oil. Place the boxed cheese on a baking sheet.


3. Bake the Camembert in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is browned on top and melted inside. Allow to cool slightly, then serve.

this is fantastic.. if you slice garlic and push the slices into the cheese top put the lid back on and bake as above serve with huge chunks of french bread to dip...Yummy!!
