  1. One 8 1/2-ounce Camembert, unwrapped, in its wooden box
  2. 1 garlic clove, halved
  3. Dry white wine, for sprinkling
  4. Cooked baby new potatoes and pickled vegetables, for serving
  1. Rub the rind of the cheese with the garlic. Poke half a dozen tiny holes in the rind and sprinkle with the wine. Cover with the lid. Transfer to a pie plate and bake in a 400° oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is molten beneath the rind. Serve the cheese in its box with the potatoes and pickled vegetables.
