Do you know how everyone has a handful of foolproof, go-to recipes that they keep going back to again and again? This appetizer is one of mine. In fact, if you’ve ever attended a holiday party at my house, there’s a strong chance you’ve enjoyed this warm and addictive Baked Brie with Honey and Sliced Almonds, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser. I also love making different versions of it such as my Hot Honey Baked Brie or Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions.

Why You’ll Love this Baked Brie with Honey and Almonds

  • It’s the perfect balance of sweet and salty.
  • Super simple with only 3 ingredients, and is ready in a total time of 10 minutes!
  • Great to make for a party or entertaining.
  • 100% guaranteed people will comment on how good it is!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you serve baked brie with?

I love baked brie on a toasted baguette slice, with fresh fruit like apples or grapes, jam, or plain crackers.

Do you eat the white part of brie cheese?

Yes, the rind is totally safe to eat, and adds a delicious earthy flavor to the cheese.

How do I store leftover baked brie?

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.

    I have to admit, you had me at “crowd favorite” and “minute to make.” Those two things don’t usually go together! But you are right. Who doesn’t love baked brie? Fantastic recipe.
