Ingredients
  

For the baked brie
  • 1 wheel brie about 8 ounces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter, for greasing the dish
For the topping
  • 1/4 cup honey plus more for drizzling if desired
  • 1/3 cup mixed nuts roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon walnuts chopped, optional for extra texture
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries or figs chopped, optional
  • 1 pinch flaky salt optional
For serving
  • 1 batch toasted baguette slices for serving
  • 1 batch crackers for serving
  • 1 batch apple or pear slices optional, for serving

Equipment

  • 1 small baking dish oven-safe
  • 1 Knife for chopping and optional scoring
  • 1 spoon for drizzling honey
  • 1 Cutting board for prep and serving optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish or line a small sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place the wheel of brie in the prepared dish. Lightly score the top rind with a small knife if desired, being careful not to cut deeply into the cheese.
  3. Spoon the honey over the top of the brie. Sprinkle with the chopped mixed nuts, optional walnuts, rosemary, optional dried fruit, and a pinch of flaky salt if using.
  4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the brie is very soft in the center and the edges are just starting to relax.
  5. Carefully transfer the baked brie to a serving board or leave it in the baking dish. Let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Drizzle with a little extra honey if desired and serve immediately with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or fresh fruit.

Notes

Do not overbake or the cheese can fully collapse. Camembert works well as a substitute. For best texture, bake just before serving. Nutrition is an estimate and does not include bread or crackers.
