Can someone remind me how you do that thing where you warm camembert in the oven please?

[tassisssss]

I seem to remember that you slice the top off and pop back in the box, but oven temp and for how long? And then do you do something with cranberry sauce?

Thank you.

I dont slice the top off, just unwrap the plastic and put back in the box, shove a garlic clove or 2 and a few sprigs of thyme in and put in the oven (200?) for 10 minutes. Yum.

Thanks anchovies, so do you just cut it when it's done then?

The way I've had it the top's off and then you dip lovely breadstickes in (and there's something to do with cranberry sauce too!). Anyone else do it my way?

I do it on the barbecue (bit cold for this time of year) but normally wrap it in foil and then shove bits of bread in it when it's done, it's scrummy.

walkthedinosaur, so you don't take top off cheese either?

final bump...

We cut a x on the top of ours, in a warm oven in a little terracotta dish or in foil for 15 mins and voila!!

Don't over heat it though as it sort of curdles a bit.

You can smear the top with cranberry sauce yum

Jamie Oliver says to unwrap the cheese and put back in box. Score a circle into the top of the skin, then lift it off and discard. Peel and finely slice 2 cloves of garlic and lay on the cheese, sprinkle pepper and dizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Scatter over Rosemary leaves and pat gently until covered in oil.

After 25 minuted take it out of oven and then let everyone help themsleves to a lovley gooey spoonful.

He doesn't mention cranberry sauce though sorry

I noticed in Tesco that they've wheeled out a 'Baking Camembert' for Xmas - as far as I can ascertain, the 60p price hike involves leaving the lid off the wicker packet.
