Cooking President Camembert

Whole camembert, whole garlic and 12 oysters (not baked)… that sounds like a good lunch

Well, nearly, what about the throat lubrication? Oysters, would tend to a crisp white, garlic and the soft cheeses, a hefy red perhaps. Heck, has to be a beaujolais then

I do it like this:

Remove wrapper from cheese and return to box.
Cut top of cheese in a criss-cross manner.
Sprinkle on some chopped garlic and a few drops of olive oil or white wine.
Close box, place in oven at 200 for 15-20 mins.

Perfect!

Buy a round loaf of nice, crunchy bread.
Cut the top off and hollow out a Camembert sized depression.
Criss cross cut the Camembert on the top and sides.
Sprinkle garlic and chillis on top then add a few splashes of decent olive oil.
Put the top of the bread back on and pop in the oven for 15-20 mins on about 160.

Await first heart attack with a satisfied grin.

Take it out of the wax paper, put it back in the box. Drizzle with olive oil, bit of white wine, season and stick some Rosemary leaves into it, then bake.

Just re-read the post I quoted

I was under the impression that there are two types of packaging with this stuff, one with staples in the wooden box you cook and one without.

The one without has the box glued togother which would be the dodgy taste you had possibly?

Just a thought.

I did this^^ last night, with a President Brie.

Removed that outer shiny paper but left the inner greaseproof type paper. Stuck some Garlic in it, but put some honey on top. it was spot on.

instead of sprinkling chopped garlic, get a few cloves and halve or cut them into thirds and just push them into the brie at regular intervals.

I don't use the wooden box as I have bought one of these.
