Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 whole camembert cheese wheel (about 8 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ teaspoon chili
  • thyme
  • Assorted bread slices, crackers, or apple slices for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes, following the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Remove any plastic packaging or wrapping from the camembert cheese. Place the cheese on a clean cutting board or plate.
  • Using a sharp knife, score the top of the camembert cheese lightly. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the cheese and help it melt evenly.
  • In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, honey, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful glaze.
  • Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the scored camembert cheese, ensuring it covers the top and sides. Allow the glaze to seep into the scores.
  • Place the coated camembert cheese in the air fryer basket or tray. Make sure it is not overcrowded, allowing sufficient airflow around the cheese for even cooking.
  • Put the basket or tray into the preheated air fryer. Cook the camembert for approximately 10 - 12 minutes. Keep a close eye on the cheese, as cooking times can vary depending on the size and thickness of the cheese. It should be soft and gooey in the center, and the outer crust should turn golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Once the camembert is cooked to your desired level of melty gooeyness, carefully remove it from the air fryer. Use oven mitts or tongs, as the cheese will be hot.
  • Allow the baked camembert to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the cheese to set slightly and make it easier to handle.
  • Serve the Air Fryer Baked Camembert as a centerpiece on a serving board or plate. Pair it with your choice of accompaniments, such as crusty bread, crackers, sliced fruits, or charcuterie items.
  • To enjoy, dip your bread or crackers into the warm, melted camembert center. The creamy, gooey cheese with the flavors of garlic, honey, and thyme will tantalize your taste buds.
  • Enjoy the Air Fryer Baked Camembert immediately while it's still warm and melty. Remember to savor the flavors and textures of the cheese, and feel free to customize the experience by adding your favorite toppings or dipping options.
