Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 8 ounces Brie cheese
Toppings
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 1 pinch Italian seasoning
Drizzle
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an oven-safe skillet that’s slightly bigger than your Brie wheel to prevent sticking.
- Slice the Brie: Take the 8 ounces of Brie and slice ½ to ⅔ of the way down into approximately 1-inch slices. Rotate the Brie 90 degrees and slice again, forming diamond-shaped pieces.
- Arrange and top the Brie: Place the sliced Brie pieces into the prepared skillet. Evenly sprinkle 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, ½ teaspoon of minced fresh thyme, and a pinch of Italian seasoning over the cheese.
- Drizzle honey: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey evenly over the top of the Brie and toppings.
- Bake the Brie: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is slightly bubbly.
- Serve immediately: Remove from the oven and serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Use a high-quality Brie cheese for the best flavor and melting quality.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and thyme based on your taste preferences.
- Serve with crackers, slices of baguette, or fresh fruit for a complete appetizer.
- Keep an eye on the cheese as it bakes to avoid overcooking and splitting.
- To make serving easier, use small spoons to scoop melted Brie onto accompaniments.
