Description

This Savory Baked Brie with Garlic and Herbs is a warm, creamy appetizer perfect for gatherings. The Brie cheese is topped with a fragrant mixture of garlic, thyme, and rosemary, then baked until soft and melty. Garnished with fresh parsley and optionally drizzled with honey, it pairs beautifully with crackers or baguette slices.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1 wheel Brie cheese (8 oz)

Herb and Garlic 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: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it reach the set temperature completely to ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare Cheese: Place the Brie wheel on a baking dish or a parchment-lined baking sheet. For easier serving, you may lightly trim the rind from the edges, but this is optional.
  3. Combine Garlic and Herbs: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, along with a pinch of salt and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
  4. Top Brie with Herb Mixture: Spoon the garlic and herb mixture evenly over the surface of the Brie wheel, making sure it’s well-coated.
  5. Bake Brie: Place the Brie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is warmed through and the center is soft but still holds its shape.
  6. Optional Honey Drizzle and Final Garnish: Remove the Brie from the oven. For those who enjoy a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey over the top. Finally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the baked cheese for a fresh finish.
  7. Serve: Serve the warm baked Brie immediately with crackers or baguette slices on the side for dipping and spreading.

Notes

  • Lightly trimming the rind is optional but can make serving easier.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor, but dried herbs work well as substitutes.
  • If desired, you can prepare this dish ahead and bake it right before serving.
  • For a sweeter contrast, honey is a great addition but can be omitted for a purely savory flavor.
  • Best served warm to enjoy the creamy melted texture of the Brie.
