How to Prepare and Cook
- Prep the cheese: Remove any plastic wrapping from one whole Camembert wheel. Score a criss-cross pattern on the top rind with a knife.
- Add toppings: Push sliced garlic cloves and fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs into the cuts. Drizzle with a teaspoon of honey or olive oil.
- Use the box & foil: Put the cheese back into the bottom half of its wooden box (remove any paper that isn't greaseproof). Wrap the entire box tightly in a double layer of tin foil to protect it from direct flames.
- Cook on embers: Place the foil parcel on glowing campfire embers or a medium-low BBQ grill for about 10 to 15 minutes. Turn it halfway through.
- Serve: Carefully unwrap the hot foil (watch out for steam) and dip in with crusty baguette slices or breadsticks
