Form cheese into a round disk and place in the center of a serving plate. Spoon oil-thyme mixture over cheese and surround cheese with baguette slices.

To mold the cheese, line a small mixing bowl with plastic wrap. Put the cheese in the bowl and press down. Wrap with more plastic and refrigerate. It will unmold very easily and it will look like a nice dome.
