Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 wheel brie cheese
honey
mixed nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds), chopped
olive oil
fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
salt (optional)

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). I place the brie wheel on a baking dish or lined baking sheet.

I lightly drizzle olive oil over the top, then add the chopped nuts evenly. I bake it in the oven for about 12–15 minutes until the brie becomes soft and gooey in the center.

Once out of the oven, I drizzle honey generously over the warm brie. If I want extra flavor, I sprinkle fresh thyme or rosemary on top and add a pinch of salt.

I serve it immediately while warm, allowing the cheese to stay perfectly melted.

Variations

I sometimes add dried cranberries or figs for a fruity twist. For extra sweetness, I use maple syrup instead of honey. If I want a bit of crunch, I toast the nuts beforehand for deeper flavor.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, I warm it in the oven at a low temperature until soft again. I avoid overheating so the texture stays creamy.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cheese?

I can try camembert as a similar alternative, as it melts in a similar way.

Do I need to remove the rind?

I leave the rind on, as it helps the brie hold its shape while baking.

What should I serve with baked brie?

I like serving it with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh fruit.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

I can assemble it ahead and bake it just before serving for the best texture.

Can I make it without nuts?

I can skip the nuts or replace them with seeds if I prefer.

Conclusion

I keep baked brie with honey and nuts as one of my favorite go-to appetizers because it’s simple, delicious, and always impresses. It’s the kind of dish that feels indulgent while being incredibly easy to prepare.
