Baked Camembert

Oozy, cheesy baked Camembert is a real treat – perfect for date night or a celebration – and it’s so easy to make, too.

My husband put this recipe together as a birthday treat for me. It was so delicious that I had to share it with you.

If you enjoy cheese fondue then forget about all of the hassle and just have this instead. It would be a perfect treat for a Valentine’s Day meal!

The meal came from my husband asking what I wanted for my birthday dinner. We hadn’t eaten in the house for three days, so thought it would be nice to stay in, and I naturally answered his question with “cheese”.

This was a wonderful, simple treat for a birthday meal – give it a go. This will serve 2.

Baked Camembert – The Ingredients

  • Camembert, garlic, rosemary – these are the ingredients used for baking your Camembert. The simple addition of garlic and rosemary takes it up a notch.
  • Crusty bread, carrots, celery sticks, green olives, cured meats – to serve. Enjoy dipping all of these into that melted Camembert! You could also try sliced bell pepper, bread sticks or crackers for dipping.

Top Tips

  1. Cooking the Camembert

    You can cook the Camembert to the level of ‘ooziness’ that you prefer. Just check the consistency by prodding the centre with your finger.

  2. Get ahead

    The Camembert needs to be cooked and served straight away, but you can prep the other ingredients up to 12 hours in advance.
