Camembert is a wonderful French cheese. In this recipe it combines with white wine, garlic, thyme, onions and pickles, as well as bread, to make the most fabulous and mouthwatering appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Camembert
  • 3 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • A few sprigs of fresh thyme
  • Silverskin onions
  • Small gherkins (pickles)
  • Bread cubes or breadsticks
  • Jam (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
  2. Take the cheese out of its box.
  3. Staple the seam if the box is glued, so it doesn’t fall apart when cooking.
  4. Line the inside of the box with foil then put the cheese back in.
  5. Cut the garlic lengthwise into eighths so you get spike shapes.
  6. Make 8 holes in the top of the cheese with a knife and poke a garlic spike into each hole.
  7. Drizzle the wine over the top and scatter the fresh thyme over it.
  8. Bake the cheese on a baking tray for 15 minutes.
  9. Put it in the middle of a big plate and arrange gherkins, bread and whatever else you want around the outside for the guests to dip into the runny cheese.
  10. I like to serve jam with baked Camembert – any flavor goes!
