  • Total Time: 25-35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 whole round of Brie cheese (about 8 ounces)
  • 2–3 tablespoons pure, high-quality honey

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed) for wrapping brie
  • 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
  • Fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme
  • Toasted nuts like pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the brie melts evenly and any puff pastry browns perfectly without burning.
  2. Prepare the Brie: Place the whole brie round on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If using puff pastry, wrap the brie completely, seal the edges tightly, and brush the surface with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  3. Bake the Brie: Bake for 15-20 minutes if unwrapped, or 20-25 minutes if wrapped in puff pastry. The brie should be soft to the touch, and the pastry golden and flaky.
  4. Add Honey and Garnishes: Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with generous amounts of honey. Sprinkle with optional fresh herbs and toasted nuts for additional flavor and texture.
  5. Serve Warm: Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh fruit to balance the richness.

Notes

  • Let the brie sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before baking to ensure even melting.
  • If using puff pastry, prick it lightly to allow steam to escape and avoid sogginess.
  • Choose mild honey varieties like clover or wildflower to complement the brie without overpowering it.
  • Avoid overbaking to prevent the cheese from leaking and becoming too runny.
  • Serve immediately for the smoothest, gooey texture and best flavor.
