Difficulty Easy

Serves 4

Prep time 5 mins

Cook time 15-20 mins

Ingredients

1 Camembert (approximately 250g)

3 tbsp La Vieja Fabrica Thick Cut Marmalade

1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

1 garlic clove, finely sliced

Crusty bread, apple or pear slices, nuts, to serve

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C fan.

Remove the Camembert from its packaging and place it back into its wooden box, removing any paper wrapping.

Using a sharp knife, score a criss-cross pattern into the top of the cheese.

Spoon the marmalade over the surface, ensuring some of the orange peel remains visible.

Scatter over the thyme leaves and sliced garlic.

Place onto a baking tray and bake for 15–20 minutes until soft and molten in the centre.

Remove from the oven and leave to stand for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Serve warm with torn crusty bread for dipping. For an autumn entertaining board, accompany with apple slices, walnuts, crackers and an extra spoonful of marmalade on the side.
