Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large wheel of brie cheese
- 1/4 cup of your favorite jam (such as raspberry, apricot, or fig)
- 1/4 cup of mixed nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds), roughly chopped
- 1 sheet of puff pastry or crescent dough (optional for extra crunch)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)
- Crackers or sliced baguette for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the brie wheel on the prepared baking sheet. Carefully cut the top rind in a criss-cross pattern with a sharp knife. Spread the jam evenly over the top of the cheese, then sprinkle with the chopped nuts. For extra crunch, wrap the brie in puff pastry or crescent dough if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the topping is golden brown. Drizzle with honey if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use high-quality brie cheese for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Watch closely during baking to prevent over-melting.
- Experiment with different jams and toppings to customize your appetizer.
