Description

This dish, like most hot dishes, is best served on a warmed plate so that the cheese doesn't harden before you eat it.

Ingredients

Camembert cheese - 4 pieces
Garlic - 4 cloves
Tomatoes - 2 pieces
Lemon - 1 piece
Parsley - 1.8 oz
Olive Oil - 1 fl oz
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Finely chop the tomatoes and garlic, then sauté them in olive oil with lemon juice, sprinkling with chopped parsley. There's no need to cook them down completely; it's better to stop somewhere in between. The tomatoes should soften slightly from the heat but should retain their fresh flavor.

Step 2

As soon as the "in-between" stage is reached (usually about three minutes is enough), place the heads of Camembert cheese on a preheated grill pan and cook them until they are about to melt, starting to ooze and burn. Once you catch this moment, remove the cheese from the grill using a spatula.
