Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 wheel of Brie cheese
  • 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
  • Fresh vegetables

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for gentle baking of the Brie.
  2. Prepare Brie: Place the whole wheel of Brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in an oven-safe dish to catch any melted cheese.
  3. Add Flavorings: Drizzle the Brie evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle the finely minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme on top to infuse the cheese with aromatic, savory flavors.
  4. Season: Season the Brie lightly with salt and black pepper to enhance the taste. Optionally, drizzle with honey for a subtle sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the herbs.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes until the cheese is soft and just beginning to ooze, indicating it is perfectly melted inside.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the Brie rest for a couple of minutes—this helps it firm up slightly before serving. Serve warm with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme for the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake; Brie should be soft and melty but not fully runny.
  • Drizzle of honey is optional but adds a lovely sweet contrast to the savory herbs.
  • Serve immediately after resting for the best texture and flavor.
  • Pair with a crisp white wine or light red for a delightful appetizer experience.
