Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- 1/2 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes
- 1/4 cup Olive Tapenade
- 1 tbsp Fresh Thyme
- 1 tbsp Fresh Basil
- 2 cloves Chopped Garlic
Main
- 1 whole Camembert
- Flour for Dusting
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 1 tsp Cracked Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine sun-dried tomatoes, olive tapenade, chopped garlic, fresh thyme, and fresh basil. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly distributed to create a flavorful herbaceous marinade.
- Flour the Surface: Lightly flour your work surface to prevent sticking. Use a rolling pin or your hands to spread the flour evenly, ensuring the Camembert will not stick when handled.
- Coat the Camembert: Place the whole Camembert on the floured surface and generously coat it with the prepared marinade, making sure every side is well-covered for maximum flavor infusion.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking during baking and ease cleanup.
- Assemble for Baking: Place the marinated Camembert into the lined baking dish. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper to enhance the savory profile.
- Bake: Bake the Savory Camembert Bread for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is molten and golden on top, signaling it’s perfectly gooey and ready to enjoy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked Camembert to cool slightly so it firms up just enough for easy serving without losing its luscious molten texture.
Notes
- Use a high-quality Camembert for the creamiest melting texture.
- Adjust garlic quantity to taste for milder or stronger flavor.
- Serve with fresh bread or crackers to complement the molten cheese.
- Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for an even melt.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted or added such as rosemary or oregano for variation.
