Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces Brie cheese
- ½ cup chopped nuts
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Seasoning:
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F and grab a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.
- Decide whether to keep the rind on your 8 oz. Brie wheel – it’s totally edible, but some prefer it removed.
- Mix ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans with 2 tablespoons honey, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until nuts are evenly coated.
- Transfer your Brie to the prepared baking sheet and generously spread the nut mixture across the top.
- Slide the Brie into the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese looks soft and slightly puffy.
- Remove from the oven when the Brie is melty but still holding its shape.
- Let the cheese rest for 3-4 minutes so the texture settles and flavors can mingle before serving.
Notes
- Choose soft, creamy brie that feels slightly springy when gently pressed for the best melting texture.
- Experiment with different nuts like pecans, almonds, or walnuts to customize the flavor and crunch of your topping.
- Remove the rind if preferred, but keeping it adds a rustic presentation and helps hold the cheese’s shape during baking.
- Serve immediately with crusty bread, crackers, or sliced apples to complement the warm, gooey cheese and sweet honey-nut mixture.
