Ingredients
- Brie: Naturally has a mild, creamy, buttery taste, with a nutty, earthy flavor from the rind.
- Honey: Nature’s best sweetener, clover honey is most common, but honey made from different flowers will have slightly different flavors.
- Almonds: Sweet and rich in flavor, they pair wonderfully with cheese and fruit.
Easy Swaps
- Change the nuts. While almonds are my favorite, many nuts pair well with brie like pecans, walnuts, or even pistachios.
- Using a wheel of brie. If you’re trying to make a whole wheel and not a wedge, not a problem! However, I would recommend cutting it and baking it in pieces.
How to Make Baked Brie with Honey and Almonds
Step 1. Place your wedge of brie cheese in a square baking dish, not much bigger than the cheese itself.
Step 2. Cover the brie and surrounding area with sliced almonds.
Step 3. Drizzle the whole thing with honey.
Step 4. Bake at 350 until cheese is bubbly and has oozed a bit from the rind, about 8 minutes.
Transfer to a serving platter along with apple slices, bread, and crackers, and enjoy your Baked Brie with Honey and Almonds!
Frequently Asked Questions
I love baked brie on a toasted baguette slice, with fresh fruit like apples or grapes, jam, or plain crackers.
Yes, the rind is totally safe to eat, and adds a delicious earthy flavor to the cheese.
Wait for the cheese to cool completely, then wrap in plastic wrap or another airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, just wrap it in tin foil and pop it back in the oven until it’s warmed through.
