Steps
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan-assisted ovens). Place the Camembert cheese on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a small oven-safe dish.
Baking
Brush the top of the cheese lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and its center is gooey.
Serving
Remove the cheese from the oven and immediately spoon the cranberry jam over it. Serve with freshly sliced baguette or toast. Enjoy!
Extra Tips
► Experiment with other jams too! Fig jam or redcurrant jam also pair wonderfully with Camembert.
► Before serving, you can sprinkle fresh rosemary or thyme on top for an even more aromatic experience.
► It's best enjoyed immediately while hot, when the cheese is still gooey and creamy.
