Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, sliced, or more to taste
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped
• freshly cracked salt and pepper to taste
• 1 (8 ounce) round Camembert cheese in wooden box

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Remove Camembert from wooden box and remove and discard any plastic wrapping. Place wheel of cheese back into the wooden box.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, score the top of the cheese in a crisscross pattern about 1-inch deep. If desired, remove the top rind.

Step 4

Press garlic slices into the scores. Sprinkle with rosemary and thyme leaves, pushing a few into the scores. Drizzle top of Camembert cheese with olive oil and season with freshly cracked salt and pepper. Wrap box with foil to prevent drips (leaving the top open) and place on a baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the foil. Serve the cheese in its box immediately.
