Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 8 ounces Brie cheese
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 pinch Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease an oven-safe skillet slightly larger than the wheel of Brie cheese to prevent sticking.
- Slice: Cut the 8 ounces of Brie cheese about halfway to two-thirds of the way down into 1-inch slices. Then rotate the cheese 90 degrees and slice again to create diamond-shaped pieces, ensuring even melting and easy serving.
- Top: Place the sliced Brie in the greased skillet. Sprinkle the minced garlic, fresh thyme, and a pinch of Italian seasoning evenly over the cheese to infuse bold flavors.
- Bake: Drizzle honey over the top of the seasoned Brie slices. Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes until the cheese melts fully and becomes slightly bubbly. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, gooey texture and harmonious flavors.
Notes
- Use a good quality Brie for the best flavor and melting texture.
- Feel free to substitute fresh herbs as desired, such as rosemary or sage.
- Serve with fresh baguette slices, crackers, or apple slices for a delightful appetizer.
- Do not overbake as Brie can become oily and lose its creamy texture.
