Ingredients
- 1 wheel vegan ‘camembert’ (we used Nurishh)
- 1 clove garlic, sliced
- 2 sheets puff pastry (eg Jus-Rol or some supermarket own-brands. Gluten-free puff pastry is also available)
- Syrup (eg maple or agave)
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, stalks removed and very finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, stalks removed and very finely chopped
- Olive oil
- Salt
- 1 tbsp soya milk mixed with 1 tbsp syrup (in a small bowl) for a glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F/Gas Mark 6.
- Unroll one of the sheets of puff pastry, leaving it on the paper that it came in. Brush with a light coating of syrup all over then evenly sprinkle just under half of the fresh rosemary and thyme (you will leave a little left over for sprinkling on the finished swirl) along with a light dusting of salt.
- Roll the pastry back up into a log then slice it lengthways. Repeat this process with the second sheet of puff pastry. You will be left with 4 long slices of pastry, layers exposed.
- Line a large baking tray and then place the lid of the ‘camembert’ into the centre.
- Twist up each individual slice of pastry (4 in total) and then place them around the ‘camembert’ box, spiraling outwards. Leave a little space between each one as they will expand.
- Remove the box from the centre of the swirl and replace it with the ‘camembert’.
- Insert the garlic slices into the top of the ‘cheese’.
- Brush the swirl with the soya milk/syrup glaze and sprinkle with the remaining fresh herbs.
- Option to drizzle with a little olive oil.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until nicely golden. If the swirl browns too quickly then cover the top with foil and return to the oven.
- Serve immediately, dipping the puff pastry into the melted ‘cheese’.
