Ingredients
- 1 wheel Double or triple cream brie
- 1 Sprig Rosemary roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoon dried cranberries or craisins
- 2 tablespoon unsalted mixed nuts roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon Hot chili honey
- Pinch salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven or Air Fryer – Preheat your oven to 350°F or set your air fryer to 320°F.
- Prepare the Brie – Place the wheel of brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Score the Cheese – Using a sharp knife, score the top of the brie in a criss-cross pattern. This allows the toppings to sink into the cheese as it bakes.
- Season and Top – Add a pinch of salt and pepper over the brie. Sprinkle the chopped rosemary, cranberries, and nuts on top.
- Drizzle Olive Oil – Pour a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the brie for added richness and flavor.
- Bake or Air Fry – Bake for 15 minutes in the oven or about 10 minutes in the air fryer at 320°F, until the cheese is soft and melty.
- Add the Hot Honey – Remove from the oven and drizzle generously with hot chili honey for a sweet, spicy finish.
- Serve Immediately – Serve warm with apple slices, crackers, or a side of cranberry sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Score the Cheese – Scoring helps the flavors seep into the brie, enhancing the taste and ensuring it bakes evenly.
- Use Double or Triple Cream Brie – The higher fat content makes it creamier and more luxurious in texture.
- Serve Immediately – Brie is best when warm and gooey, so enjoy it as soon as it’s out of the oven.
- Experiment with Toppings – Try different nuts, dried fruits, and herbs to keep things interesting.
- Opt for Fresh Bread – Serving this with a fresh baguette or artisan bread makes a huge difference!
