Description

This elegant appetizer features a wheel of creamy Brie cheese baked until soft and gooey, then topped with a delightful mixture of honey, toasted nuts, and dried fruits. Served warm with crackers or slices of baguette, it’s a perfect addition to any gathering, offering a harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors.

Ingredients

Units Scale

 

  • 1 (8-ounce) wheel of Brie cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, or pistachios)
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons chopped dried fruits (such as apricots, figs, or cranberries)
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs for garnish (optional)
  • Crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices for serving

 

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Brie:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Place the Brie wheel on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small, oven-safe dish.
    • Using a sharp knife, score the top rind of the Brie in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut too deeply.
  2. Toast the Nuts:
    • In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped nuts until they are fragrant and lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Combine Toppings:
    • In a small bowl, mix the toasted nuts, chopped dried fruits, and 2 tablespoons of honey until the nuts and fruits are well coated.
  4. Bake the Brie:
    • Spoon the honey, nuts, and fruit mixture over the top of the Brie.
    • Place the Brie in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and beginning to melt.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove the Brie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
    • Transfer to a serving platter if desired.
    • Drizzle additional honey over the top and garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs if using.
    • Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices.

Notes

 

  • For a savory twist, add a sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary to the nut and fruit mixture before baking.
  • To make transferring the baked Brie easier, bake it on a piece of parchment paper.
  • This dish is best enjoyed immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.
