Baked Camembert makes great appetizer, that can be served any time of the year. Also, it makes a perfect appetizer for the holidays’ season! It’s so easy to make, takes just 15 minutes from start to finish, and the result is cheesy, gooey, spicy and super delicious!

What is Camembert?

Camembert is a French, moist, creamy round cheese that usually comes in a wooden box (mine didn’t but that was not a problem as I transferred it to an ovenproof dish to bake it!). Camembert is made of cows’ milk and has pure white rind. It has a slightly sour taste, and is really delicious.

How to bake Camembert?

This is the best appetizer that you can make to feed a crowd visiting your home, using a few ingredients and that can be ready in just 15 minutes!

Obviously, the main thing needed to make this recipe is the Camembert itself. Other than that, you will need olive oil, chili flakes, garlic granules and fresh herbs such as rosemary sprigs.

If it comes in its wooden box, that’s great! Just remove the plastic wrapping and score the top of Camembert with a sharp knife, in order to allow the air to escape while baking.

Season the Camembert with salt, garlic granules, chili flakes and add fresh rosemary leaves. Then drizzle with olive oil. You can wrap the wooden box with foil, to avoid any possible spillage. Then put inside a preheated oven and bake on 180°C or 350°F for 15 minutes.

If the Camembert comes without a wooden box, then that’s not a problem. Just transfer it to an ovenproof dish or to a Camembert baker or any small oven-proof dish, and follow the same steps as above.

Serve Baked Camembert hot with toasted bread or crackers of your choice. I toast the bread by drizzling some olive oil, and sprinkling with garlic granules, salt and pepper, and toast in the oven at 180°C or 350°F until golden.

    I bought this in sainsburys and it was delicious but didn’t realise it needed baking. Can you just eat it as it is?

      Hi Ali, yes you can! But let the cheese come to room temperature before eating 🙂
