Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Peel the garlic and put in a small baking dish along with the thyme sprigs. Season with a pinch of salt. Pour over the olive oil to cover the garlic (depending on the size of the baking dish, you may need to use more oil.)

  • STEP 2

    Put the camembert in a separate baking dish and bake alongside the garlic for 30 mins. Remove both from the oven and leave to cool for 5 mins. Lift the garlic out of the infused oil in the dish using a fork, and lightly mash (see tip below). Spread the mashed garlic over the camembert, and serve with crusty bread for scooping.

Recipe tip

Use the leftover garlic-infused oil for cooking – it works very well in pasta dishes.
