Baked Brie with Honey and Walnuts
Ingredients
- 1 wheel 8 ounces Brie cheese
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves chopped
- crackers or baguette slices for serving
- fresh figs or dried apricots sliced, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the Brie wheel in a small baking dish or cast iron skillet just slightly larger than the cheese.
- Score a shallow crosshatch pattern across the top rind with a knife.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese feels soft all the way through when pressed gently at the center and just starts to bulge at the sides.
- Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the warm honey over the top.
- Scatter the walnuts and rosemary over the honey while the cheese is still warm enough to hold them in place.
- Serve right away with crackers, baguette slices and fresh figs or apricots for scooping.
