Easy Baked Camembert Cheese Without a Box - How To
Are you looking for the best method to bake Camembert cheese at home without having the oven safe box that comes with some store bought Camembert pieces? Well, here is a short video recipe in which we'll show you exactly how to prepare tasty baked Camembert in your convection oven in a matter of minutes. Let's begin!
Equipment
- 1 Convection Oven (If you're using an oven without a convection fan, you'll have to adjust the cooking time accordingly - it will typically take just a little more time)
Ingredients
- 1 Piece of Camembert cheese
- ~2 tsp Olive oil
- ~2 tsp Herbs de Provence
- Just Enough Parsley & dill
Instructions
- Prepare your Camembert piece by cutting its surface in a grate pattern as shown on the image. Don't go too deep with the cuts, as it's just meant to ensure that the cheese doesn't leak in the oven too soon and that all the toppings will stick to it easier.1 Piece of Camembert cheese
- Spread some olive oil on top of your piece of Camembert - this will ensure that all the toppings will stick even better, as well as make it bake nice and gold in the end.~2 tsp Olive oil
- Once you're done with spreading the olive oil, sprinkle some Herbs de Provence on top.~2 tsp Herbs de Provence
- Next, cut just a little bit of parsley and dill and put it on top of the Camembert for decoration.Just Enough Parsley & dill
- Put a new piece of baking parchment in your convection oven.
- Put the piece of Camembert into the oven for around 10 minutes in 180ºC/350ºF
- Ideally you should take the piece of cheese out of the oven just before it starts leaking out.In our case we were a bit late, but it doesn't really matter for anything other than aesthetics!Tip: Take your piece of Camembert out of the oven on the sheet of baking paper. Then you'll be able to cut the paper around the cheese and put it on the plate. This way you won't risk the piece of runny cheese falling apart when being taken out.
- All done! You can now enjoy your baked Camembert cheese (try it with toasted garlic bread or baguettes!).
