Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Unwrap a Tesco Finest Camembert d’Isigny Sainte Mere and put the cheese back in the box; discard the lid. Place on a baking tray and use a small, sharp knife to cut a small cross on top (about 1cm deep) and make 8 small incisions around the cross.
  2. Finely slice 1 clove from a Tesco Finest oak smoked garlic bulb and poke the slices into the cross and incisions. Sprinkle over the leaves from 1 thyme sprig, drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil and season with black pepper. Wrap loosely in foil and bake for 10 mins. Meanwhile, cut a Tesco Finest olive ciabatta into 2cm slices and place on a baking tray.
  3. Remove the foil from the cheese and return to the top shelf of the oven. Put the ciabatta on the shelf below and bake for 10-12 mins until the cheese is oozy and the ciabatta is lightly toasted. Cut a garlic clove in half and rub the cut side over the ciabatta. Transfer the cheese and toast to a serving board. Spread the toast with Tesco Finest basil pesto, then serve with the cheese to dip in.
