2. Cut a 10x10 cm square of baking paper, and place unwrapped Camembert in the middle.
3. Wrap tinfoil tightly around the baking paper and Camembert, leaving the top open. Place into an over proof dish.

Tip: You can make this with a smaller wheel of Camembert, just halve the quantities of the other ingredients.
