Baked camembert is great when you’re after an easy, savory snack. The warm, melted cheese is bound to be the jewel in the crown of any cheese board, and the warm, creamy cheese is delicious paired with the savory orange marmalade from Spread-Mmms.
Baked camembert is also perfect for a night in with your girlfriends along with a glass of wine. If you’ve first tried baked camembert, it’s hard to imagine a social gathering without it.
Notes
Try to find a camembert that comes in a wooden box. If your camembert does not come in a box, you can bake it in a small oven-proof dish or wrapped in parchment paper.
In the photos for this recipe, I’m using Spread-mmms Savory Orange Marmalade but you can use any sweet or savory marmalade of your choice.
Depending on which flavors you’re after, you can also add a drizzle of honey, a couple of crushed garlic cloves, fresh herbs, or nuts.
Serve the camembert with Hungry Bird Eats multi-seed crackers or toasted baguette on the side, so you can easily scoop up all that delicious melted cheese.

Ingredients
1 camembert wheel
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons jam (sweet or savory)
Fresh herbs such as thyme, oregano or rosemary.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C)
- If the camembert comes in a wooden box, remove any plastic or paper packaging and place the cheese back into the base of the box. If your camembert does not come in a box, you can bake it in a small oven-proof dish or wrapped in parchment paper.
- With a sharp knife, score the top of the camembert in a crisscross pattern, allowing the herbs to lovingly infuse the cheese.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the scored camembert. Sprinkle with the fresh herbs, nestling them into the marmalade’s embrace.
- Place the camembert (in its box or dish) on a baking sheet to guard against any leaking cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until it turns gooey with a hint of golden. - Spread the jam evenly over the camembert.
- Serve immediately along with crackers or slices of toasted baguettes.
