Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 small wheel of Brie cheese
- 2 tbsp honey plus extra for drizzling
- 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
- Crackers or sliced baguette for serving
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Brie: Place the Brie wheel on the prepared baking sheet. Using a knife, lightly score the top of the cheese in a crisscross pattern. This not only adds to the presentation but helps the cheese absorb the honey and walnut flavors.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey evenly over the top of the Brie. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are somewhat embedded into the honey to stick during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the Brie is soft and slightly melted. The cheese should feel soft to the touch but not so melted that it loses shape.
- Serve Warm: Carefully transfer the baked Brie to a serving plate. Drizzle with a little more honey if desired and garnish with fresh thyme leaves. Serve immediately with crackers or slices of baguette for dipping.
