Description

This Baked Brie with Honey and Nuts is a warm, gooey appetizer that combines creamy brie cheese with the natural sweetness of honey and dried fruits, complemented by the crunchy texture of pistachios. Perfect for entertaining, this easy-to-make recipe infuses the flavors beautifully by scoring the cheese and drizzling honey before baking, making it an irresistible treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 16 ounce wheel of Brie

Dried Fruits and Nuts

  • 1/4 cup Golden Raisins
  • 1/4 cup Dried Apricots
  • 1/2 cup Dried Cranberries
  • 1/2 cup Pistachios (lightly crushed)

Sweetener

  • 5 tablespoons Honey


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the brie evenly.
  2. Prepare the Brie: Place the wheel of brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to catch any drips. Use a sharp knife to score the top surface of the brie in a crosshatch pattern. This allows the honey to seep into the cheese, enhancing the flavor.
  3. Add Honey: Drizzle 3 tablespoons of honey evenly over the top of the scored brie, letting it settle into the cuts made in the cheese.
  4. Bake the Brie: Once the oven is fully heated to 350°F, place the baking sheet with the brie in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and starting to ooze but not fully melted.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the brie from the oven and immediately sprinkle the golden raisins, dried apricots, dried cranberries, and lightly crushed pistachios over the top. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey over everything for extra sweetness. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife to score the brie gently to avoid cutting it apart.
  • Keep an eye on the cheese while baking to prevent it from melting completely and losing shape.
  • Feel free to substitute pistachios with walnuts or pecans according to preference.
  • This recipe pairs wonderfully with crusty baguette slices or assorted crackers for serving.
  • For an added twist, try adding a sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary before baking.
