Fondue Normande (baked Camembert)

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 Camembert cheese
1 garlic clove
2 teaspoons thyme (or other fresh herb of your choice)
2 teaspoons fresh Parsley
1 cup red wine
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Break the garlic into segments and blanch in boiling water for 5 minutes.
  2. Make a series of small holes in the Camembert and insert the blanched garlic throughout the cheese.
  3. Pour half a cup of red wine across the surface of the cheese, pressing lightly to allow it to penetrate the surface.
  4. Sprinkle cheese with thyme and parsley.
  5. Pour remaining red wine over the top. Add pepper.
  6. Place cheese, still in its wooden container or ramekin, on a baking dish. Bake for 10 min at 200°C.
