Sometimes we all need a little sinful treat to sooth the soul, and this certainly achieves that feat. If you’re in a hurry or just too tired to cook something that requires your unadulterated attention, then this is the recipe for you. Imagine crusty, white bread dipped into a quick, thyme-scented fondue. 

Ingredients (serves four as a starter, or two as a cosy, romantic supper)

  • 2 boxed Camembert wheels
  • 2 tsp white vermouth
  • 4 sprigs lemon thyme
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes
  • 1 tsp black, cracked pepper
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Crusty bread to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
  2. Gently slice the rind from the top of the Camembert; though keep them in the bottom half of the boxes. Ensure that you have removed all other packaging. 
  3. Splash the vermouth over each wheel, then add the thyme sprigs, sea salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, and serve.
