    Baked brie is one the easiest recipes to serve for any occasion, but especially during the holiday season. We generally serve baked brie with French 77 cocktails at our annual Christmas party and for New Year's Eve. It's a simple and versatile appetizer that has many combinations to choose from. Your party guests will love this version with honey because it's both savory and sweet, satisfying different palates. This melted cheese pairs well with fresh apples, blackberries, figs, walnuts, and pears. Add a rosemary sprig or fresh thyme for an ultra-festive look.

    Honey Brie Ingredients

    Baked brie on a baking sheet with a small white ceramic dish of honey and fresh thyme in the corner.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Brie: Look for an 8 or 16-ounce wheel of savory brie. The larger wheel of brie will take 10-15 minutes longer to bake.
    • Honey: I love using organic wildflower honey but any sweet honey will do. 
    • Garnish (Optional): Fresh thyme or rosemary adds a fresh herb flavor and holiday flare.

    How To Make Honey Brie 

    • Step 1: Prep the brie. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the brie in a small cast iron skillet, or on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
    • Step 2: Score the brie. An optional step is to score the top rind of the brie with a knife, in a crosshatch pattern, which helps the honey to stick. 
    • Step 3: Bake the brie. Lightly drizzle honey on top, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until soft.
    • Step 4: Drizzle with more honey. Remove the brie from the oven and allow it to rest on the baking tray for 2 minutes. Carefully transfer the melted brie to the desired serving platter or cheese board. Drizzle on more honey right before serving. Use a sharp paring knife to cut into the brie, allowing the melty cheese to ooze. Serve with crackers or a sliced baguette.

    Hint: Add the extra honey on top after transferring the brie to a plate or charcuterie board. The honey will spill over, so keep this in mind when serving. If the brie is in a ceramic dish or brie baker, you can add the honey and serve it right away. 

    Variations

    • Crosshatch: You can crosshatch the top surface of the brie before baking to allow for an extra melty texture. It also helps the honey to stick to the top.
    • Remove the top: For a brie fondue, simply remove a thin layer from the top of the rind. If using this method the brie will need to be contained, otherwise, it will ooze all over the parchment paper. Place the brie in a brie baker or oven-proof dish and bake as directed. Once the brie has melted, add toppings and serve with a cheese knife.

    Pairings & Toppings

    • Add Nuts - Adding chopped walnuts, pistachios, or pecans to the top of the baked brie is a great option for added texture.
    • Add Garlic - A few minced garlic cloves add a rich pungent aroma and flavor.
    • Spicy Brie - For an extra kick, you can add red pepper flakes with the honey, or use infused hot honey.
    • Serve With Fruit - Fresh fruit such as apple slices, blackberries, figs, and pears are delicious options to serve with baked brie.
    • Serve With Crackers & Baguettes - I love serving baked brie with rosemary crackers, baguette slices, or any crusty bread.
    • Fresh Herbs - Fresh thyme and fresh rosemary can serve as a beautiful garnish or topping.
    • Pair With Wine - Brie is best served with champagne, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, and pinot noir.

    Storage

    • To Store: As the baked brie sits out, it will harden. You can store leftover brie in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days and reheat it in the microwave or oven to make it melty again. Brie can only be reheated one time, otherwise, it becomes tough and rubbery.

    FAQ

    How to know when your honey brie is done baking? 

    Depending on the size of the brie, it can take anywhere from 15-25 minutes to bake. After 15 minutes in the oven, check the brie by gently pressing the top. It should feel soft and pliable. If you start to see the sides of the cheese ooze out of the rind, go ahead and pull it out of the oven.

    What is the best kind of brie to use?

    You do not have to use an expensive piece of cheese for this recipe, any brie will work.

    How much baked brie should you allow per person?

    A general rule of thumb is 2 ounces of warm baked brie per person. An 8-ounce wheel would serve about 4-6 people.

    Can you re-heat baked brie?

    Yes, you can reheat it in the microwave, start with 30 seconds and go from there. You can also re-warm it in a low 300F oven until soft again. Don’t do this more than once, however, or the cheese can get rubbery.

    Ingredients
     

    • 8 ounce wheel of round brie
    • 2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste
    • fresh thyme, minced, optional

    Instructions
     

    • Prep the brie. Preheat oven to 350°F. Unwrap the brie and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can also use a brie baker or small skillet.
    • Score the brie. An optional step is to score the top rind of the brie with a knife, in a crosshatch pattern, which helps the honey to stick.
    • Bake the brie. Lightly drizzle a tablespoon of honey on top, and bake for 15-25 minutes, or until soft until the center is softened and melted. (a larger wheel of brie can take up to 20-25 minutes to soften).
    • Drizzle with more honey. Remove the brie from the oven and allow it to rest on the baking tray for 2 minutes. Carefully transfer the melted brie to the desired serving platter. Drizzle with additional honey and use a sharp paring knife to cut into the brie, allowing the melty cheese to ooze. Serve with crackers or a sliced baguette.

    Notes

    Recipe Tips
    • Baked Brie Baking Dish: You can bake brie in a mini skillet, brie baker, or lined baking sheet.
    • Serve Immediately: Baked brie eventually solidifies after a few minutes. You want to make sure to serve the baked brie right out of the oven for the best results.
