Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter. Fry the onion and garlic for 20 mins until caramelised and golden brown. Stir through the thyme, honey and Worcestershire sauce and season well. Keep warm.
Meanwhile, parboil the potato slices for 3 mins, then drain.
Remove the Camembert from its wooden casing and set aside. Place the casing in the centre of a 25cm round pie dish.
When cool enough to handle, arrange the potato slices around the casing and drizzle over the olive oil. Season, then bake for 20-25 mins until lightly golden.
Gently score the Camembert in a criss-cross pattern, then carefully remove the wooden casing from the dish and replace it with the Camembert. Drizzle over the wine, if using, then return to the oven for 15 mins and bake until the cheese is gooey and melted.
Spoon the onions over the cheese along with extra fresh thyme and serve.
