Introduction

This savory baked Brie combines creamy cheese with fragrant garlic and fresh herbs for an irresistible appetizer. Ready in just 30 minutes, it’s perfect for sharing with friends and family at any gathering.

A round baked pastry with a golden brown, flaky crust that shows layered folds and cuts around the edges, revealing a melted creamy white cheese mixed with green herbs flowing out from the center. The top of the pastry is decorated with small dark red bits and sprinkled green herbs, adding texture and color contrast. The dish is placed on a wooden board with a soft-focus white bowl in the background containing a dark red sauce, with a few scattered herbs and a cranberry near the pastry.

Ingredients

1 wheel Brie cheese (8 oz)
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
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
1 tablespoon honey, optional
Crackers or baguette slices, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully heat.
Step 2: Place the Brie wheel on a baking dish or parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, trim the rind lightly around the edges for easier scooping.
Step 3: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4: Spoon the garlic and herb mixture evenly over the surface of the Brie.
Step 5: Bake the Brie in the oven for 15–20 minutes, until it is warmed through and soft in the center but still holds its shape.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and, if you like a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey on top. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley to garnish.
Step 7: Serve the baked Brie warm alongside crackers or baguette slices for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For a nuttier flavor, add a handful of chopped toasted walnuts or pecans on top before baking.
Try swapping rosemary and thyme for sage and oregano for a different herb profile.
If you prefer a runnier cheese, bake a few extra minutes but watch closely to avoid melting completely.

Storage

Store any leftover baked Brie tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or microwave until warmed through, being careful not to overheat and separate the cheese.

How to Serve

A round baked cheese sits on a white plate with a white marbled texture underneath. The cheese has a golden, crispy outer layer with visible cuts around the edge, each section puffed up and browned. The top of the cheese is dotted with chopped green herbs and small bits of red spices. In the center, creamy melted cheese oozes out smoothly, showing a soft, shiny texture. Around the plate’s edge are sprigs of fresh rosemary, and blurred slices of toasted bread appear in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare this baked Brie ahead of time?

You can assemble the Brie with the garlic and herb mixture a few hours in advance and keep it covered in the fridge. Bake just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

What else can I serve with baked Brie?

Besides crackers and baguette slices, try serving with fresh fruit like apple or pear slices, dried fruits, or a selection of nuts to complement the rich cheese.
