  • 350g/12oz Vacherin Mont d'Or (in a wooden box)
  • 4 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, cut into short lengths
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

  3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Place on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until melted.
  5. For the garlic bruschetta, drizzle the slices of baguette with olive oil and rub with garlic.
