Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the garlic cut side down in a large roasting pan.

After 30 to 35 minutes, put a large cross in the top of the Camembert and add it to the oven. Make sure the plastic covering and lid is removed, but it is still in its cardboard box.

Break off a piece of crusty bread, then squeeze out the tender flesh of the garlic along with a healthy dose of cheese and smear it liberally over the bread. Serve with a chutney or relish and a good glass of red wine.
