Description

This Baked Brie with Garlic and Honey is a simple yet elegant appetizer featuring a creamy wheel of Brie cheese infused with thinly sliced garlic, drizzled with sweet honey and olive oil, and optionally topped with fresh rosemary. Baked until soft and gooey, this dish pairs perfectly with sliced baguette or crackers, making it an irresistible addition to any party or gathering.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 wheel of Brie cheese (8 ounces)
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
  • Sliced baguette or crackers, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the Brie.
  2. Prepare Brie: Place the Brie wheel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or into a Brie baker if available.
  3. Insert Garlic: Using a small knife, make small slits on top of the Brie and carefully insert the thinly sliced garlic pieces evenly into these slits, infusing the cheese with flavor.
  4. Add Honey: Drizzle the honey generously over the top of the Brie, allowing it to seep into the slits and coat the surface.
  5. Drizzle Olive Oil: Pour the olive oil over the Brie to enhance flavors and promote a golden, perfect bake.
  6. Add Rosemary: If using, place a few fresh rosemary sprigs on top to add an aromatic, fresh touch.
  7. Bake Brie: Transfer the baking sheet or Brie baker into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the Brie is soft, gooey, and slightly melty in the center.
  8. Monitor Baking: Watch carefully to prevent the Brie from completely melting and losing its shape.
  9. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the Brie cool for a few minutes to firm up slightly before serving.
  10. Serve: Serve the warm, gooey Brie with sliced baguette or crackers, allowing guests to scoop and enjoy the delightful combination of garlic, honey, and creamy cheese.

Notes

  • Choose a soft, creamy Brie for the best melty texture.
  • Thinly slice garlic to avoid overpowering the cheese.
  • Do not overbake; the Brie should be gooey, not fully melted.
  • Fresh rosemary is optional but adds a lovely aroma.
  • To reheat leftovers, warm gently at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes.
  • Avoid freezing Brie as it affects texture negatively.
  • Pair with fresh baguette slices, crackers, or even sliced apples for contrast.
