🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Open the wood box of the camembert cheese and remove the paper.

Make a grid on the top of the cheese to help it warm quicker.

Add any herbs you like, such as rosemary or thyme, and black pepper.

Close the box with foil to avoid touching the cheese directly.

Place the camembert on a tray in the oven to keep it clean.

Preheat the oven to 210°C (410°F).

Bake the camembert for around 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, remove the foil and add an additional 7 minutes if the cheese is not creamy enough due to being cold from the fridge.

Check the cheese; it should be completely liquid inside.

Serve the baked camembert with bread, potatoes, or charcuterie.
