# of Ingredients: 5
Course: Healthy Snack
Recipe By: The Beekeeper's Daughter
Featured Honey: Lavender Infused Raw Honey

Ingredients

  • 1 wheel of Brie cheese (about 8-10 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons The Beekeeper’s Daughter Lavender Infused Raw Honey
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
  • Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Brie: Remove any excess packaging from the Brie wheel. You can leave the rind on for baking; it adds a nice texture.
  3. Place Brie in Baking Dish: Place the Brie wheel in a small oven-safe baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Score the Top of Brie: Using a sharp knife, make a few shallow cuts or a crisscross pattern on the top of the Brie. This helps the honey to penetrate and infuse the cheese while baking.
  5. Drizzle with Honey: Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of honey over the scored Brie.
  6. Add Chopped Nuts: Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top of the Brie, pressing them gently into the honey.
  7. Bake in the Oven: Place the baking dish or sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the Brie is softened and gooey.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the baked Brie from the oven and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of honey over the top. Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired.
  9. Serve Warm: Serve the baked Brie immediately while it’s warm and gooey. Accompany it with crackers or sliced baguette.

Tip

  • Try using Fall Blossom or Buckwheat Blossom for a more earthy flavor. Saw Palmetto adds a smokey/salty flavor.
