Ingredients
  

  • Whole camembert cheese in a box or use a baking dish
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic sliced
  • Honey for drizzling
  • Fresh thyme leaves
  • Pinch salt
  • Fresh bread or crackers for serving

Instructions
 

  • Unbox and unwrap the camembert cheese, then return it to its box. If the cheese doesn't have a box, you can use a baking dish or ramekin instead. This will help the cheese maintain its shape while it bakes.

  • Score the cheese with a sharp knife to create small cuts. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the cheese as it bakes.
  • Slice garlic and press it into the cuts on the cheese. The garlic will add a delicious hint of flavor to the baked camembert.

  • Drizzle honey over the top of the cheese. The sweetness of the honey will complement the creamy camembert and add a touch of indulgence.

  • Sprinkle thyme leaves and a pinch of salt over the cheese. The thyme will add a subtle earthy aroma and the salt will enhance the flavors.

  • Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature. Then, place the prepared camembert in the oven and bake until the cheese is golden on top and soft in the center. The exact baking time will depend on the size of your cheese, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
  • Once the baked camembert is perfectly gooey and golden, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This will allow the cheese to firm up slightly.
  • Serve the baked camembert immediately with fresh bread or crackers for dipping. The warm, creamy cheese paired with the crunchy texture of the bread or crackers is a match made in heaven.
