It's one of the easiest starters you will ever make, and I guarantee you will be greeted with oohs and aahhs as you place it on the table, followed by a satisfied silence as your guest(s) tuck in.
Serve with crusty bread & really great wine for the ultimate winter treat.
Yes, a melted cheese GIF!
You are welcome.
If you'd like to devour your own wheel of cheese,
You will need:
A box of brie or camembert, whichever you like but make sure it comes in a WOODEN box. Not plastic. A few sprigs of rosemary
A squeeze of honey
A sprinkle of chilli flakes
Your favourite crunchy bread
Preheat your oven to 200°C or 390°F.
Make sure you've removed any plastic from your cheese, this is going in a hot oven and no one likes melted packaging with their wine.
With a big, sharp knife, score the cheese deeply about 4 times.
Stick your rosemary sprigs into the cuts, so they're sticking up like trees in snow. Now drizzle about a tablespoon of honey all over the surface.
Pop your creation onto the middle shelf of the oven and leave for 30mins. Check on it now and then. If it's looking all molten and the top has risen so it's bulging, it's ready. Don't let it burn.
When you pull it out, put it on a nice plate, remove the rosemary and use a fork to peel back the centre of the top, revealing the heavenly goo bellow.
Sprinkle on your chilli flakes and serve.
Spicy, salty, sweet & cheesy... all in one mouthful!
Incredible.

ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite lunches at the moment (especially since I found out that although pregnant women can't have cheeses with rinds/mould cold, after they've been cooked they are A-OK). Yum yum yum xxx
ReplyDeleteFOOD PORN!!!
ReplyDeleteOh god, please please marry me!
ReplyDeletelooks fantastic! I'm off to the kitchen (fridge!) hahah:)

ReplyDeleteI love cheeses so this would be dream snack - without the chili as I'm not that into spicy food. But other than that, it looks delicious. Might try this one day :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing... baked camembert is one of my faves, but always thought it was too much hassle to actually do myself!! Now I know it's not... think this will be on my hungover Sunday menu! x

Tonight i'm going to make this as starter, hopefully it will score me some points!
ReplyDeleteoh wooooow MINE. in australia we dont'have many cheeses available in wooden boxes though...might have to improvise and wrap it with pastry ;)
ReplyDeleteMelted cheese will be the death of me...
ReplyDeleteShould you put the lid back on the cheese before you put it in the oven?
ReplyDeleteNo
DeleteAhh, a very special friend of mine taught me to make something really similar and it's been a firm favourite with my friends ever since- I whack it out whenever I can't be that bothered to put too much effort into nibbles! Everyone go away and make this- they say you can't buy friends, but then whoever 'they' are never made this!
