CHEESE, THYME, GRAPES

Name: CHEESE, THYME, GRAPES
Cuisine: Mediterranean, European
Ingredients: a whole small Camembert or Tunworth cheese, preferably one in a wooden box; thyme 4 sprigs; black peppercorns 6 olive oil 2 tablespoons; crusty bread, to serve; grapes, to serve

2 steps

Molten, oozing cheese. Cold sweet grapes. • Check that the wooden box the cheese comes in is stapled, not glued. If glued then it is inclined to come undone in the oven and your liquid cheese will escape. • I sometimes add half a dozen juniper berries, lightly crushed, to the surface of the cheese as well.

Instructions

Step 1

Set the oven at 200°C/Gas 6. Remove the cheese from its waxed paper and return it to the little wooden box. Wrap the underside and edges of the box tightly with foil to prevent the cheese leaking. Put the thyme sprigs and peppercorns on the surface of the cheese and moisten them with the olive oil.

Step 2

Bake for twenty minutes, or until the cheese is molten inside. Serve with bread, preferably with a good crisp crust, and some sweet black grapes.
