Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking dish or baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the Brie wheel in the center of the prepared baking dish. Leave the rind on, as it helps hold the cheese together while baking.
- Toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.
- In a small bowl, combine the toasted walnuts, honey, melted butter, fresh thyme, and cinnamon if using.
- Bake the Brie for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and slightly gooey in the center.
- Carefully remove the Brie from the oven and spoon the warm honey walnut mixture evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt and garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs.
- Serve immediately with crackers, sliced baguette, apple slices, pear slices, or grapes while the cheese is warm and creamy.
Notes
• Leave the Brie rind on while baking to help the cheese keep its shape.
• Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds extra crunch.
• Warm the honey slightly before mixing if it's thick.
• Don't overbake the Brie, or it may burst open and lose its creamy center.
• This appetizer is best served immediately with crusty bread, crackers, fresh fruit, or as part of a charcuterie board.
