Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Prepare the Camembert by removing it from its plastic packaging.

Create a makeshift container using greaseproof baking paper to hold the cheese.

Score the top of the Camembert in a diamond pattern, not cutting all the way through.

Insert slices of garlic into the scored sections of the cheese.

Add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary into the cheese.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the top of the cheese.

Add a squeeze of runny honey on top of the cheese.

Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the cheese.

Place the cheese on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let it sit for 2 to 5 minutes to cool slightly before serving.

Remove the rosemary sprigs before serving, if desired.
