Ingredients
- 250g round French Camembert
- 1 coburg loaf
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked and some for garnish
- 100g smoked bacon lardons
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Cracked black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed (optional)
Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan, 375°F, Gas Mark 5).Step 2
Cut a hole in the centre of the coburg loaf big enough to fit the Camembert, using a pair of scissors.Step 3
Pull the circle of bread out of the middle to leave a snug hole for the Camembert.Step 4
Place the loaf of bread on a chopping board. Using a bread knife, cut 1-inch deep rows crisscrossing across the top of the bread, being careful not to cut through the bottom of the loaf.Step 5
Keep the removed bread, chop it into breadcrumbs, and set aside.Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the bacon lardons and cook until crispy. (If including garlic, add the crushed garlic cloves to the pan with the bacon lardons and cook for a minute until fragrant.)Step 7
Add the breadcrumbs and thyme leaves to the frying pan and mix together.Step 8
Place the coburg loaf on a baking tray. Insert the Camembert into the hole in the bread. Cut a small cross in the middle of the Camembert and sprinkle over the bacon and breadcrumb mix. Drizzle with olive oil and season with freshly milled pepper.Step 9
Cover with foil and cook in the preheated oven for 16 minutes. Check that the Camembert is piping hot and the bread is crispy.Step 10
Slice and serve immediately.
