Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole brie wheel (about 200–250g)
- 2 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts (or mix of pecans and almonds)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting nuts)
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Crackers, crostini, or apple slices (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a small baking dish or sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Toast the Nuts: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped nuts and toast 2–3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Brie: Place brie in baking dish. Drizzle with half the honey and top with toasted nuts.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes until soft and slightly puffy, but not melted through.
- Finish & Serve: Drizzle with remaining honey, garnish with thyme, and serve warm with crackers, crostini, or apple slices.
Notes
- Don’t overbake: Brie is best soft and gooey, not runny.
- Use quality honey: Floral or citrus honey adds beautiful depth.
- Make ahead tip: Prep the brie and toppings early; bake just before serving.
- Variation: Add dried cranberries or figs for a festive twist.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 2 days and reheat gently in the oven.
