Method

Heat the oven to 190°C/ 170°C fan/gas 5. Mix the honey and harissa in a small pan over a low heat (see Scale It Up). Remove the wax paper from the cheese, then put it back in its wooden box. Score a few lines into the top of the camembert and slot in the garlic slices.
Bake the camembert (without its lid on) for 10-12 minutes until gooey and bubbling. Drizzle with the harissa honey, then serve immediately with bread, crackers or crudités for dipping.
