Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.

Step 2

Place the garlic cloves on a small baking tray, drizzle with a touch of olive oil and roast in the oven for ten minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the garlic to cool down. Peel the garlic cloves and finely chop them until you get a smooth paste.

Step 3

Remove any plastic packaging from the cheese. Cut the cheese in half horizontally and spread with the roasted garlic paste and chopped thyme. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Place the cheese in an oven proof round dish. Bake in the oven for ten minutes, or until the centre of the cheese is melted.

Step 5

Serve the baked cheese with the toasted ciabatta, the celery sticks and some spicy cooking chorizo sausage.
