- For a healthier dish, you could also serve the melted camembert with vegetable crudites, and fruit such as grapes and sliced apples.
Ingredients
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/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, and place the box on a baking sheet.
3. Season the camembert with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle over the thyme leaves and drizzle with olive oil.
4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is browned on top and melted inside. Allow to cool slightly, then serve with bread such as ciabatta or baguettes.

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.
