Description

This elegant Baked Brie with Bread recipe offers a warm, melty cheese experience enhanced with garlic, rosemary, honey, and crunchy pistachios. Perfect as a sophisticated appetizer or side dish, it combines creamy Brie baked to perfection and served with toasted crusty bread for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese and Toppings

  • 100g Brie
  • A few pistachios, crushed
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary, finely minced
  • 1 clove of garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Bread

  • Good crusty bread, sliced into pieces for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the flavorings: Crush the pistachios into small pieces and finely mince the rosemary leaves. Peel the clove of garlic and slice it thinly to maximize flavor infusion.
  2. Prepare the Brie: Remove the Brie from its packaging and place it into an oven-safe container suitable for baking.
  3. Create cross-hatch cuts: Using a knife, make shallow cross-hatch cuts into the surface of the Brie. Carefully insert the thin garlic slices into these cuts to infuse the cheese during baking.
  4. Add toppings: Drizzle the Brie evenly with honey, then sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, the minced rosemary, and the crushed pistachios. Add a light pinch of salt if desired.
  5. Bake the Brie: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the prepared Brie for 10-12 minutes or slightly longer if your piece is bigger, until the cheese is thoroughly warmed and softened but not completely melted into a puddle.
  6. Prepare the bread: While the Brie bakes, cut your crusty bread into slices or pieces suitable for dipping.
  7. Rest and toast: Remove the Brie from the oven and allow it to rest briefly. Then, using the oven’s residual heat, toast the bread slices to a golden, crispy finish.
  8. Serve warm: Present the baked Brie immediately alongside the toasted bread, encouraging guests to scoop up the gooey, flavorful cheese with their bread for a delightful appetizer or side.

Notes

  • Use room temperature Brie for even baking and better flavor release.
  • Adjust the baking time depending on the size of the Brie; larger wheels need slightly longer.
  • For a nuttier flavor, you can toast the pistachios lightly before crushing.
  • This recipe serves two as a side dish but can be scaled up for more guests.
  • Any good quality crusty bread, like a baguette or sourdough, works best for dipping.
  • Honey can be substituted with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
