Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz (approx.) wheel of brie cheese
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons dried apricots, chopped
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
- 1 package crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the wheel of brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.
Using a sharp knife, lightly score the surface of the brie in a crisscross pattern. This helps the cheese soften evenly during baking.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the top of the brie.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, and chopped dried apricots.
Sprinkle the nut and dried fruit mixture evenly over the top of the brie.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey over the nuts and fruit for added sweetness and to help bind the topping.
Bake the brie in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and gooey but not completely melted.
Carefully remove the brie from the oven and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly before serving.
Optional: Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for a touch of color and fragrance.
Serve immediately with crackers or sliced baguette for dipping.
