This dish transforms a simple wheel of cheese into a warm, aromatic appetiser. The cheese is scored and stuffed with garlic slices, rosemary, and thyme, then baked until gooey and fragrant. A drizzle of honey adds sweetness that balances the savoury herbs, making it perfect for dipping bread or crackers. Itโs a rustic yet elegant starter thatโs quick to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.
