Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf sourdough bread
  • 250 grams camembert cheese (typically a whole)
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 dash rosemary
  • 1 dash thyme
  • 1 dash oregano

Equipment

  • Large pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cerated knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 320 degrees F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Set aside.
  3. Using a cerated knife, cut a circle into the sourdough bread about 3/4ths of the way through the bread (hint - I like to use the cheese container as a guide so it fits perfectly)
  4. Pull the bread out of the cavity and tear into smaller pieces. Cut the top into strips
  5. Lower the camembert into the bread bowl and score small cuts into the cheese with a knife
  6. Transfer the bread to a pan, and place the smaller pieces around it
  7. Take the olive oil mixture and spread over the bread bowl on the outside, on top of the camembert, and over the smaller pieces
  8. Cook for 20-25 minutes until the cheese has melted -- if the smaller pieces are done earlier, you can pull them out and place into a bowl and return the bread bowl to the oven
