Step-by-step

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/gas mark 5/370°F.
  2. Tip the camembert out of its wooden box, remove the wrapping and carefully squeeze the cheese back into the box.
  3. Using a small knife make a few slits in the top of the cheese and insert the garlic slices and rosemary leaves.
  4. Place the camembert on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or so, until the garlic is golden, the cheese has a slightly swollen appearance and feels soft and molten to the touch.
