Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. wheel or wedge of Brie cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts walnuts or pecans
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you prefer a milder taste, you can remove the rind from the brie, although it is edible and many enjoy its unique flavor.
  2. Topping the Brie: In a small bowl, combine the chopped nuts, honey, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the nuts are evenly coated with the honey and spices.
  3. Baking: Place the brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small baking dish. Spoon the nut and honey mixture over the top of the brie, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the brie is soft and melty. It should look slightly puffed and oozy but not completely melted out of shape.
  4. Serving: Let the brie cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly and the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Selecting the Brie: Choose a high-quality brie that feels slightly firm to the touch. Too soft, and it might melt too quickly; too hard, and it won't achieve that perfect creamy consistency.
  • Nuts and Honey: Walnuts and pecans are popular choices, but feel free to experiment with almonds or hazelnuts. Try different types of honey, such as wildflower or clover, to find your favorite combination.
  • Serving Temperature: Let the brie sit for a few minutes after baking to cool slightly and firm up just enough to hold its shape when sliced.
