Whole grain bread adds fiber, while baguette is often less expensive.

1

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2

Remove the Camembert from any plastic wrapping and place it back in its wooden box (or a small baking dish if the box isn’t oven-safe). Score the top of the cheese in a crosshatch pattern.

3

Insert slices of garlic and sprinkle chopped rosemary or thyme on top. Add the crushed hazelnuts and drizzle with a little honey, season with salt and pepper.

4

Place slices of French baguette all around. They should be toasted by the time the cheese is ready.

5

Place the cheese in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the centre is gooey and melted.

6

Serve immediately with crusty bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
