Hot Honey Baked Brie (Oven or Air Fryer)
A wheel of brie scored, topped with rosemary, dried cranberries, and chopped nuts, then baked until the center is soft enough to scoop. Finished with hot honey off the heat so the chili stays sharp instead of dulling in the oven. Works in the oven or the air fryer, about 20 minutes start to finish.

Notes
Wheel size: Written for an 8 ounce wheel. A larger wheel needs a few extra minutes, a smaller one a few less. Start checking at 10 minutes either way.
Doneness: Press the center with a fingertip. It should give easily and feel like it would collapse under more pressure. If it still feels firm, add 2 to 3 minutes at a time. A cold wheel or a thick rind will run longer.
Air fryer: Set to 320°F and cut a parchment round for the basket. About 10 minutes, same press test.
Hot honey: Store-bought works. To make your own, warm honey with a pinch of red pepper flakes and a splash of vinegar, then cool. Always drizzle it after baking, not before, since the chili heat dulls in the oven.
Make ahead: Score and top the wheel up to a day in advance, cover, and refrigerate in the baking dish. Bake from cold and add 2 to 3 minutes.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 350°F oven or in short microwave bursts, and only once. The fat separates on a second reheat.
