Ingredients
- 1 4-4.5 inch wheel of Brie cheese
- honey
- fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Unwrap your Brie and place your wheel on a small piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Note: if you have the time, take the cheese out of the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter for an hour before baking. This is optional but helps the cheese bake more evenly.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes in the oven. 15 minutes should make the Brie very soft and runny in the center, while 10 minutes will make a softened but not super melty Brie.
- Remove from the oven, and use the parchment paper to transfer the Brie to your serving dish. Serve asap with your desired topping. I added a drizzle of honey and fresh thyme.
Notes
The genius of baked Brie is that it works so well with so many delicious toppings, but they don't have to be complicated at all, just a drizzle of honey or maple syrup is fine. A layer of jam, marmalade, or hot pepper jelly are great ideas, too.
