Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together the sun-dried tomatoes, olive tapenade, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and basil. Let it sit while preparing the cheese.
Dust a clean work surface with flour and place the Camembert cheese on it. Slice the cheese into thick rounds.
Spread the marinade generously over the Camembert slices, ensuring thorough coating.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
Place the marinated Camembert in the baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and cracked pepper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden. Ensure it's oozy.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm with toasted bread or crackers.
