Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C /350°F (oven fan 160°C). Arrange a baking tray onto the middle shelf.
  2. Remove the plastic packaging and arrange the Camembert back in its wooden box, or in a small baking pot.
  3. Score a deep cross or a crosshatch pattern on the top rind of the cheese. Drizzle with honey or extra-virgin olive oil, and insert the leaves of one sprig of rosemary into the gaps.
  4. Sprinkle with red chili flakes and season with sea salt flakes and optional black pepper.
  5. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven, and serve with cheese crackers or toasted bread slices.

Notes

  • AIR FRYER BAKED CAMEMBERT
  • You can also bake Camembert in the air fryer.
  • Set the temperature to 160ºC / 320ºF, and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Make sure you use an air fryer-safe container for the camembert.
  • Bake the cheese in the wooden box, wrap it with kitchen foil, or use a small baking pot or a Camembert baker.
  • Do not put the cheese in the oven without a container, as it will spread around.
  • To be extra safe, you can wrap the wooden box in foil, and arrange it on a baking sheet to avoid any cheese spillage.
  • Make sure the oven temperature sticks to  180ºC/350ºF/Gas 4 (fan oven 160C), and not above that.
  • Score a deep cross or a crosshatch pattern. Using a sharp knife, score the top of the cheese, this will allow the air to escape while cooking.
  • Bake the cheese for 12-15 minutes, not more than that. If you bake it more than you should, the cheese will harden back again.
