Description

Baked Brie with Honey and Garlic is an elegant and easy appetizer that combines creamy, warm Brie cheese with sweet honey and aromatic garlic. Perfect for holiday gatherings, potlucks, or as a sophisticated snack, this recipe requires minimal preparation and bakes the cheese to a soft, gooey perfection, enhanced by fresh thyme and a drizzle of olive oil.

Ingredients

Cheese and Flavorings

  • 1 8oz wheel of Brie cheese
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh thyme sprigs, optional

Serving

  • Sliced baguette or crackers for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the Brie.
  2. Prepare Brie: Place the Brie wheel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a Brie baker for easy handling and even cooking.
  3. Insert Garlic: Using a small knife, make small slits on the top of the Brie. Insert the thinly sliced garlic into these slits, spreading them evenly over the cheese to infuse flavor while baking.
  4. Add Honey and Olive Oil: Drizzle honey over the top of the Brie, allowing it to seep into the garlic slits and the surface. Follow with a drizzle of olive oil over the cheese to add richness and facilitate browning.
  5. Add Thyme: Place fresh thyme sprigs on top of the Brie for aromatic herbal notes (optional).
  6. Bake Brie: Transfer the baking sheet or Brie baker to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, monitoring to ensure the cheese softens and becomes gooey but retains its shape and does not melt completely.
  7. Cool Briefly: Remove the Brie carefully from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to thicken up before serving.
  8. Serve: Serve the warm baked Brie immediately with sliced baguette or crackers to enjoy the creamy, garlicky, honeyed flavors.

Notes

  • Do not overbake; the Brie should be soft and creamy inside but not fully melted.
  • Thinly slicing garlic helps it roast evenly and infuse flavor without overpowering.
  • Fresh thyme is optional but adds a lovely herbal aroma and taste.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a selection of crackers for varied texture.
  • Allow the Brie to cool slightly after baking to avoid burns and to let the cheese set slightly for easier serving.
