Melted Camembert Fondue Bread Bowl
This simple, delicious cheese fondue is perfect for a crisp fall or winter dinner party with friends!
Equipment
- Large pan
- Mixing bowl
- Cerated knife
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
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 320 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Set aside.
- 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)
- Pull the bread out of the cavity and tear into smaller pieces. Cut the top into strips
- Lower the camembert into the bread bowl and score small cuts into the cheese with a knife
- Transfer the bread to a pan, and place the smaller pieces around it
- Take the olive oil mixture and spread over the bread bowl on the outside, on top of the camembert, and over the smaller pieces
- 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
