How To Cook Camembert With Rosemary And Garlic Tigerbread?
We are huge fans of entertaining friends and family. Mezze lunches and tapas are also popular meals in the Christie household. There’s something so sociable about tearing off huge chunks of bread and dipping it in a bubbling hot cheese served with oil and balsamic vinegar. However, it’s also an excellent starter for dinner parties or the ultimate comfort food.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of baked tiger bread
- 3 cloves of garlic or a jar of lazy garlic
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 1 round Camembert
1. Prepare the Bread And Oil
Firstly, chop the garlic and rosemary and place into the oil to soak. Then, slice squares in a criss-cross pattern into the bread to create a cube effect.
2. Prepare The Camembert
Prepare the camembert by putting some slices into the cheese and adding garlic. If you have a sweet tooth, jam works well too.
3. Cut A Circle Into The Top Of The Bread
Cut a circle onto the top of the bread, going about an inch deep into the bread crust and remove. Remove the top of the Camembert and place in the circle space in the bread.
4. Brush Oil Into The Ridges In The Bread
Brush the infused oil into the pre-cut ridges of the bread, ensuring the rosemary and garlic are pushed into the gaps, ensuring you fully coat the bread. Cover with foil and bake at 180 for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
5. Tips For Cooking Camembert
When you cook your camembert in bread, cover it with foil for the first 10 minutes, then remove it to crisp the bread. Of course, you don’t have to cook your Camembert with tiger bread; it’s also delicious, served with bread sticks and crostini, served alongside dips such as creamy beetroot hummus.
How To Cook Camembert On It’s Own|
- Pre heat the oven to 200°, make sure the over is hot before you put the camembert in.
- Cut 2 garlic cloves in chunks, not too small.
- Now cut holes into the top of the camembert and push the lumps of garlic into the holes.
