  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Cheese

  • 1 wheel Brie cheese (8 oz)

Herb Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnish and Serving

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon honey, optional
  • Crackers or baguette slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking of the Brie cheese.
  2. Prepare Cheese: Place the Brie wheel onto a baking dish or a parchment-lined baking sheet. For easier scooping, you may lightly trim the rind from the edges, but this step is optional.
  3. Combine Garlic and Herbs: In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until all ingredients are well blended.
  4. Top Brie with Herb Mixture: Pour the garlic and herb mixture over the Brie, spreading it evenly across the surface using the back of a spoon to coat the cheese thoroughly.
  5. Bake Brie: Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is warmed through and the center becomes soft but still holds its shape when gently pressed.
  6. Optional Honey Drizzle and Final Garnish: Remove the Brie from the oven. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey over the top. Then sprinkle freshly chopped parsley to enhance both flavor and presentation.
  7. Serve: Present the baked Brie warm alongside crackers or baguette slices. It is best enjoyed fresh while still soft and melty.

Notes

  • Trimming the rind on the Brie is optional but can make scooping easier for guests.
  • Use fresh herbs for the most vibrant flavor, but dried herbs work well in a pinch.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to your taste, especially if your crackers or bread are salty.
  • The honey drizzle adds a lovely contrast of sweetness to the savory cheese but can be omitted for a purely savory dish.
  • Serve the baked Brie immediately for the best texture and flavor.
