Main Ingredients
- 1 wheel of Brie cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon honey
To Serve
- Crusty bread
- Crackers
- Fresh vegetables
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the Brie.
- Prepare Brie: Place the Brie wheel on a parchment-lined baking sheet or into an oven-safe dish to prevent sticking and allow even heating.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle the Brie with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the finely minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme on top to infuse the cheese with aromatic flavors.
- Season: Lightly season the Brie with salt and black pepper according to taste. Optionally, drizzle with honey for a subtle sweetness that complements the herbs and cheese.
- Bake: Bake the Brie in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is soft and starts to ooze slightly, indicating it’s perfectly melted and ready.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the baked Brie to rest for a couple of minutes once out of the oven. Serve warm alongside crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping to enjoy this creamy, flavorful appetizer.
Notes
- Use a high-quality Brie for the best flavor and melting consistency.
- If desired, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Serve immediately while warm for optimal texture and taste.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving again.
