Ingredients

  • 1 x 250g camembert round (£3)

  • Sprinkle of chilli flakes
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ tsp Cajun seasoning
  • Salt
Metric - US Standard

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180° C/ 200° F.
  • Remove the paper from the wooden box of the camembert, then place the cheese back into the box. Score the top of the cheese (approx 1 cm deep), then add a swirl of honey, oil and a sprinkle of chilli flakes and flakey salt.
  • Bake the camembert for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to get golden on top. Finish with a sprinkle of cajun seasoning and dive in! Serve immediately with toasted bread rounds.

Notes

  • Avoid Overcooking: Overcooking can lead to a messy, overly cheesy result.
  • Use Sealed Cheese: Opt for a sealed cheese round instead of a sliced one for baking.
  • Room Temperature: Let the Camembert come to room temperature before baking if possible.
  • Score the Top: Score the top of the cheese to allow steam to escape during baking.
