Baked Brie with Honey Recipe

Baked Brie with honey is a simple yet delicious appetizer that’s perfect for any occasion. The warm, gooey cheese combined with the sweetness of honey makes this dish irresistible. Whether you’re hosting a party or just craving a tasty snack, this easy recipe will be a hit!

Ingredients:

• 1 wheel of Brie cheese
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 sheet of puff pastry (optional)
• 1 egg (for egg wash, if using puff pastry)
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans, optional)
• Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme, optional)
• Crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the Brie melts evenly and turns golden brown if using puff pastry.

Step 2: Prepare the Brie

You can bake the Brie as it is or wrap it in puff pastry for a crispy outer layer. If using puff pastry:

• Roll out the pastry and place the Brie in the center.
• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the top.
• Fold the pastry over the Brie, sealing the edges.
• Brush with an egg wash for a golden finish.

If baking without puff pastry, simply place the Brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake the Brie

Place the Brie in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is soft and melty. If using puff pastry, bake until the crust is golden brown.

Step 4: Add Honey and Toppings

Once out of the oven, drizzle the remaining honey over the warm Brie. For extra flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts and fresh herbs on top.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately with crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices. The creamy, honey-drizzled Brie pairs perfectly with crunchy dippers!

Tips for the Best Baked Brie:

• Use high-quality Brie for the best flavor and texture.
• Don’t overbake to prevent the cheese from becoming too runny.
• Experiment with toppings like dried fruit, fig jam, or balsamic glaze for extra taste.
