Set the oven to 200°C (gas mark 6). Put the squash into a roasting tin and season well. Sprinkle with the garlic, nutmeg and a few thyme sprigs, and drizzle with oil. Roast for 1 hr until the flesh is just tender.
Place each Camembert half in the squash cavity, and top with more thyme sprigs and a few tomatoes.
Roast for 10 mins until the cheese has melted and the tomatoes are beginning to char.
