Description

This Savory Baked Brie with Garlic and Herbs is a simple yet elegant appetizer perfect for entertaining or a cozy night in. A wheel of creamy Brie cheese is infused with fragrant freshly minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme, then baked to a luscious, soft texture. A drizzle of olive oil and optional honey adds a delightful balance of savory and sweet. Serve warm with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1 wheel of Brie cheese

Herb and Garlic Topping

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey

To Serve

  • Crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking of the Brie.
  2. Prepare the Brie: Place the entire wheel of Brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in an oven-safe dish to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  3. Add toppings: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top of the Brie. Sprinkle the finely minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme over the cheese to infuse it with aromatic flavors.
  4. Season and drizzle: Season the Brie with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste. If desired, add a light drizzle of honey for a subtle sweetness that complements the herbs.
  5. Bake the Brie: Place the Brie in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The cheese should become soft, warm, and just starting to ooze, signaling it’s perfectly melted inside.
  6. Rest and serve: Remove the Brie from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes to allow it to set slightly. Serve warm with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for the best aroma and flavor; dried herbs will alter the taste.
  • Be careful not to overbake the Brie to prevent it from becoming too runny.
  • If you don’t have parchment paper, a lightly greased oven-safe dish will work.
  • Honey is optional but adds a nice sweet contrast to the savory garlic and herbs.
  • Letting the Brie rest after baking helps it hold its shape better when serving.
