Cheese
- 8 ounces round of brie cheese
Butter and Oil
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Herbs and Flavorings
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/8 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/8 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon honey
To Serve
- Crackers, bread, or vegetables
- Prepare and Bake the Brie: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Carefully shave the top rind off the Brie round using a sharp knife, taking care not to remove too much of the creamy interior. Place the Brie round onto a cookie sheet lined with tin foil. Bake it in the oven for 8-10 minutes, checking frequently to ensure the cheese becomes warm and gooey but does not overflow. Remove from the oven immediately if it starts to spill over.
- Prepare the Herb-Infused Butter: While the Brie bakes, melt the salted butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic, finely chopped rosemary, and thyme. Stir occasionally and cook for 5-7 minutes until the garlic turns a golden color, taking care not to let it brown by reducing heat if necessary.
- Assemble and Serve: Once the Brie is warm and gooey, carefully transfer it with a large spatula to a serving dish, being careful not to lose any of the cheese. Pour the roasted garlic butter and herb mixture evenly over the top of the Brie. Drizzle honey over everything. Serve immediately with your choice of crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping and enjoy this rich, flavorful appetizer.
Notes
- Be careful when shaving the rind to preserve as much creamy cheese as possible.
- Keep a close eye on the Brie while baking to avoid any spillage.
- If preferred, you can substitute fresh herbs with dried, but fresh herbs provide a brighter flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the Brie at its warmest and gooeyest texture.
- For a slightly different taste, try drizzling a little balsamic reduction instead of honey.
