Baked Brie with Honey and Nuts
Description
This Baked Brie with Honey and Nuts recipe centers on a whole wheel of brie topped with a mixture of golden raisins, dried apricots, dried cranberries, and lightly crushed pistachios. Scoring the cheese surface with a crosshatch pattern allows honey to penetrate when drizzled and baked. The brie is baked at 350°F for 15 minutes until soft and warm, then topped with a honey-fruit-nut mix, further drizzled with honey for added sweetness and moisture.
The result is a creamy, slightly runny cheese enriched by the natural sweetness and chewiness of the dried fruits and the buttery crunch of pistachios. This harmony creates a balance of texture and slightly sweet-savory flavor. The honey contributes floral notes enhancing the overall profile.
Serve warm, accompanied by bread, crackers, or fresh fruit for scooping, making it a suitable appetizer or snack. The baking sheet is lined for easy cleanup in case the cheese leaks. This dish is best enjoyed immediately to experience the warm softness of the brie and the fresh contrast from the toppings.
Ingredients
- 16 ounce brie wheel
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup dried apricot
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup pistachio lightly crushed
- 5 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place brie on a baking sheet lined with a piece of parchment paper (just in case it leaks). Use a knife to score the top of the brie in a crosshatch pattern (this helps the honey seep into the cheese).
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons of honey over the cheese.
- When the oven reaches 350°F place brie in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl combine the dried fruit, pistachios, and 1 tablespoon of honey and stir together.
- When the cheese has finished baking remove it from the oven and top with the fruit, nuts, and honey, and drizzle remaining honey on top.
- Serve warm with bread, crackers, and fresh fruit.
