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!!
Really excellent and very easy to do.
Also replace herbs with one or two garlic cloves, gives a great flavour (if you like garlic!)
There are some smaller sized English Camembert's available which work well.
