Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 8 ounces Brie cheese (1 wheel)

For Topping

  • 3-4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the Brie.
  2. Prepare the cheese: Place the Brie wheel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a Brie baker if you have one for easy handling and cleanup.
  3. Insert garlic slices: Using a small knife, make small slits on the top surface of the Brie. Insert the thin garlic slices evenly into these slits, ensuring the garlic flavor is infused throughout the cheese.
  4. Add honey and olive oil: Drizzle the honey and olive oil over the top of the Brie. Allow the honey and oil to seep into the garlic slits and around the cheese, enhancing its flavor and richness.
  5. Add thyme (optional): Place a few fresh thyme sprigs on top of the Brie if desired, adding a lovely aromatic note to the dish.
  6. Bake the Brie: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the Brie is softened and gooey in the center, perfect for dipping.
  7. Cool and serve: Carefully remove the Brie from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving to ensure safe handling and optimal taste.
