Take the Camembert out of its wooden box and plastic packaging. Then place the cheese back into the wooden box. You may choose to place it into a small round ovenproof dish (a.k.a. Camembert baker) instead or make a small pan out of aluminum foil,m if your cheese didn't come with a wooden box. Place the box with the cheese on a baking tray to catch any drops of melty cheese in case it bubbles over during cooking.
Using a sharp knife, score the top of the camembert in a crosshatch pattern.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, olive oil, chilli and garlic. Season with salt and a little bit of black pepper.
Drizzle honey mixture on top of the scored cheese. Place it in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
***NOTE: Cooking time will depend on the size of your camembert and how ripe it is. Please refer to the packaging instructions if you are using Baking Camembert.
Once baked, drizzle the top rind of the cheese with a little olive oil and serve immediately. The cheese will start to harden as it cools, so you want to take it straight to the table.
