Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 wheel of Brie cheese (8–12 ounces)
  • Honey or maple syrup, for drizzling (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or sage (1-2 teaspoons chopped)
  • Nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Fresh fruit such as sliced apples, cranberries, or figs (1/4 cup, sliced)

Optional Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed if frozen
  • Cold water or egg wash for sealing edges

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Choose an oven-safe dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Wrap or Top the Brie: If using puff pastry, roll it out slightly and wrap the Brie wheel, sealing edges carefully with cold water or egg wash to prevent leaks. Otherwise, place the Brie directly into your baking dish.
  3. Add Flavors: Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the Brie. Sprinkle fresh herbs, nuts, and fruit evenly on top to create a balance of flavors and textures.
  4. Bake It to Perfection: Place the Brie in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. If wrapped in puff pastry, bake until the pastry turns golden brown; the cheese inside should become warm and gooey.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from oven carefully. Let cool for a few minutes to slightly set before serving. Pair with crackers, bread slices, or fresh fruit for dipping and spreading.

Notes

  • Let Brie sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before baking to ensure even melting.
  • Seal puff pastry edges well with cold water or egg wash to avoid leaks.
  • Watch the oven closely during the last minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning or burning, especially with sugary toppings.
  • Use fresh herbs and nuts for the best flavor and texture contrast.
  • Baked Brie is best served warm and melty—plan your serving accordingly.
  • You can bake Brie without puff pastry by placing it directly in a parchment-lined dish with toppings.
  • Leftover Baked Brie keeps up to 2 days refrigerated and reheats well at low temperatures.
