Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/gas mark 5/370°F.
- Tip the camembert out of its wooden box, remove the wrapping and carefully squeeze the cheese back into the box.
- Using a small knife make a few slits in the top of the cheese and insert the garlic slices and rosemary leaves.
- 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.
