Ingredients

Cheese and Flavorings

  • 1 wheel of Brie cheese (8 ounces)
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

To Serve

  • Sliced baguette or crackers

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the Brie to a perfect gooey texture.
  2. Prepare Brie: Place the Brie wheel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or place it in a Brie baker for an even bake and easy cleanup.
  3. Insert Garlic: Using a small knife, carefully make small slits on the top of the Brie wheel. Insert the thinly sliced garlic evenly into the slits to infuse the cheese with rich garlic flavor during baking.
  4. Add Honey and Olive Oil: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the top of the Brie, allowing it to seep into the garlic slits and around the cheese. Then drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the Brie to enhance the flavors and aid the baking process.
  5. Add Rosemary (Optional): Place a few fresh rosemary sprigs on top of the Brie to introduce an aromatic herbal note. This step is optional but adds depth to the flavor.
  6. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet or Brie baker to the preheated oven and bake the Brie for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and gooey in the center. Watch carefully to prevent the cheese from melting too much and losing its shape.
  7. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the Brie from the oven carefully and let it cool for a few minutes so it firms slightly but remains warm and melty inside.
  8. Serve: Serve warm with sliced baguette or crackers. Scoop out the warm, flavored Brie with bread or crackers and enjoy the perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Use a good quality wheel of Brie for the best texture and flavor.
  • Fresh garlic gives a strong aroma; adjust quantity based on your preference.
  • Keep an eye on the baking time to avoid over-melting the Brie.
  • Honey and olive oil create a sweet-savory contrast that can be adjusted or substituted with maple syrup or other oils as desired.
  • Serve immediately after baking for the best gooey experience.
