Prep time: 20 minServes: 4

Melted cheese is one of the most generous things you can put in front of a group — and a glass of Viognier or light Pinot Noir enjoys the rich, garlicky charm just as much as the guests do.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Camembert (about 250g), in its wooden box or a small baking dish
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Black pepper
  • Good bread, apple slices, and celery for dipping

Method

  1. 11. Heat the oven to 180°C.
  2. 22. Remove all plastic wrap. If the cheese came in a wooden box, put it back in. Otherwise use a small oven-safe dish.
  3. 33. Score a cross in the top of the cheese. Push garlic slices and rosemary sprigs into the cuts.
  4. 44. Drizzle with honey and olive oil. Crack over some black pepper.
  5. 55. Bake 15–18 minutes until the cheese bubbles when you press it gently.
  6. 66. Serve immediately in the box or dish with bread, apple slices, and celery for dipping.
