Directions
| Step 1 | Pre-heat oven to 220C/450F/Gas mark 7. |
| Step 2 | Take the Camembert cheese out of the box and unwrap it; replace the cheese back into the box and prick the top of the cheese with a skewer several times. Sprinkle with a little sea salt flakes and replace the lid. |
| Step 3 | Place the box on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is molten inside and the top has browned a little. |
| Step 4 | Take the box out of the oven and place it on a serving plate, take the lid off and cut a cross into the top of the cheese with a sharp knife before spooning the chilli jelly into the middle of the cut cheese. |
| Step 5 | Serve whilst still hot with bread sticks, crusty bread such as baguette, ciabatta and home-baked bread. |
| Step 6 | NB: You must ONLY use Camembert cheese that is in a WOODEN box with a wooden lid. |
