Baked camembert in a box

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.

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.
