  • 1 raw-milk Camembert in its wooden box

Preparation

  • Remove the Camembert from its paper wrapper.
    1 raw-milk Camembert
  • Line the wooden box with a sheet of parchment paper, then return the Camembert to the box, keeping the rind intact.
  • Score the top in a crosshatch pattern without cutting through the rind.
  • Tuck the garlic slivers into the cuts.
    1 clove garlic
  • Drizzle the top with the honey and olive oil.
    2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sprinkle with thyme and finish with a few grinds of black pepper.
    0.5 teaspoon dried thyme, freshly ground black pepper

Air Frying

  • Place the box flat in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook at 180 °C for 10 to 15 minutes, checking from the 10-minute mark, then stop when the surface is melted and lightly golden.

Serving

  • Lift out the box by the sides and serve immediately, ideally with toasted bread or roasted potatoes.

Notes

Tips
  • Remove the paper label, any plastic wrap, and any metal staple before cooking. If the box has a clear plastic window, or if the cheese does not come in a box, use a small ceramic dish or ramekin the same diameter as the cheese (no wider) to prevent it from spreading.
  • The parchment paper helps the cheese keep a neat shape and makes cleanup easier; without it, the wood absorbs the fat and the box can no longer be reused.
  • Never remove the rind: it holds the cheese together as it melts. Make only shallow cuts.
  • At 180 °C: 10 min = creamy center; 15 min = very runny. Start checking at the 10-minute mark, as the cheese quickly goes from creamy to fully melted.
  • Tuck the garlic into the cuts (otherwise it will burn on the surface). Dried thyme holds up better during cooking than fresh thyme.
  • Serve immediately: Camembert firms up quickly once out of the air fryer.
  • Variation: cook at 200 °C for 18 min (on some appliances), keeping an eye on the browning.
