Introducing the world’s best get together starter – Baked Brie! That is how the way you remodel an excellent worth brie right into a spectacular brie. It’s like the most effective cheese dip you’ll ever have!! A wonderful possibility for a shared entree or get together meals that’s tremendous fast and straightforward to arrange that has wow issue.
Serve with crostini or crackers (attempt these home made fruit & nut crackers!).
Baked Brie is, fairly merely, the most effective melted cheese on this planet. If you lower by means of the rind and the within comes pouring out like lava, you’ll overlook all of your troubles. It’s like cheese-aholic heaven!
However cheese habit apart, right here’s the sensible purpose why Baked Brie must be in your radar:
It’s the world’s best appetiser / get together starter!
Simply pop a brie within the oven for quarter-hour, or microwave it for two minutes. Plonk on a platter, add a mound of crispy crackers and watch the arms dive in to do THIS:
And hold pulling up and up….. LOOK AT THIS CHEESE PULL!!!
I wasn’t exaggerating once I stated you simply plonk a brie within the oven. However right here’s a sensible visible for tips on how to make it.
-
What to bake it in – use a spherical, shallow oven proof dish that’s a bit bigger than the brie for baking and serving if in case you have one. It must be shallow, in any other case it’s laborious to dip/scoop with out touching the recent dish; OR
-
Place the brie on crumpled paper – that is what I do.This serves 2 functions:
-
most secure solution to switch – Baked Brie is wobbly and delicate, and it might be a tragedy if that Baked Brie burst open mid switch……
-
the crumpled paper helps cease the brie from oozing out everywhere in the desk. Melted brie simply wants a bit little bit of coaxing to cease it from working all over the place!
-
-
Greatest Brie for Baked Brie – Use a cheap brie or camembert! Costly brie could be wasted on this recipe, for my part, although it does work simply as properly with high finish because it does finances brie.
-
How lengthy it stays gooey – in a ceramic dish, it’s going to keep scoopable for an excellent quarter-hour or so. On paper, round 10 minutes, then for one more 10 minutes or so you may smear it on with a knife.
-
How one can reheat – seconds within the microwave! An entire brie takes 2 minutes within the microwave, so use that as a baseline for leftover brie.
-
Leftovers – AMAZING! The honey / maple syrup can be combined by means of when the cheese hardens and it simply makes it all of the extra scrumptious. Who cares if you need to scrape up the dregs and pop right into a small ramekin? OR pile it onto toast and grill! *She swoons on the thought*
Baked Brie is the way you get gourmand flavour utilizing an excellent worth brie!
Baked Brie is finest served with sturdy crackers for scooping up the molten cheese – keep away from chips and people wafer skinny crackers for serving with cheese as they aren’t sturdy sufficient.
And whereas brie is wealthy sufficient and the cheese itself is flavoured sufficient in order that even a plain Baked Brie is wonderful, a easy (beneficiant!) drizzle of honey or maple syrup definitely wouldn’t go astray. Candy honey and the wealthy, savoury brie goes brilliantly and provides one other dimension that takes it from OMG that is sooooo goooood!
Add a a easy bunch of grapes to the serving platter (fruit + cheese is traditional, plus simply seems good!), and your spectacular straightforward appetiser is full and able to wow your loved ones and mates!
“If you lower by means of the rind, the within comes pouring out like lava. It’s like the most effective cheese fondue you’ll ever have.”
What did that take? All of two minutes effort in your half. Unwrap the brie, bake or microwave it. Open packet of crispy toasted bread (or make your individual), plonk a bunch of grapes on the aspect. And voila! Your get together starter is able to impress your loved ones and mates.

Ingredients
- 250 – 500g / 8 – 16 oz round brie or camembert (good value is fine! Note 1)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 thyme sprig (optional)
- Crostini or other sturdy crackers
- 1 bunch purple grapes (or green, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all oven types).
- Unwrap brie and place in a small, shallow ovenproof dish slightly larger than the brie (to be used for serving) OR a piece of crumbled baking / parchment paper (for transference). (Note 2)
- Oven: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes (for 250g/80z), or until melted through. For 500g/1lb brie, increase to 25 minutes. To check, gently touch the centre of the brie – it should feel very soft, like it is about to collapse if you press any harder.
- Microwave option: 2 minutes on high (no one will know!) in 30 second increments.
- Carefully transfer to serving plate / board – it's delicate (transfer on paper if you used paper).
- Drizzle with honey, top with sprig of thyme (if using).
- Serve immediately with crostini on the side for scooping. Provide a knife to cut through the rind and a cheese or pate knife (or similar) to scoop cheese up onto crostini or crackers (plain or fruit/nut flavoured).
Notes
1. Brie –I recommend using an economical brie for this. This recipe works just as well with budget brie as it does top end. If I splurge on expensive brie, I serve it as is because I think it’s a waste to alter it! Camember also works.
2. Baked Brie Baking dish – the most practical way to bake / serve brie is if you have a shallow round ovenproof dish that is slightly larger than the brie. This will stop the cheese from oozing out everywhere when people start eating it but it needs to be shallow otherwise you’ll burn your fingers trying to scoop it!
If you don’t have one, do one of the following:
very shallow bowl or curved plate – the shape of which will hold the cheese in (ovenproof if baking, microwave proof if microwaving ie most normal dinner plates fine); OR
bake on crumbled paper per recipe directions – the paper makes it easy to transfer the Brie to a serving platter (Baked Brie is delicate and wobbly like jelly, and if it bursts you will cry). Plus by crumpling it, it actually (mostly) stops the cheese from oozing out onto the table (but really, you won’t be short of willing participants to dash forward and scoop up brie that’s oozing dangerously close to the edge of the serving platter!)
3. Over baking – check the brie at 15 minutes. If you can’t tell if it is ready by touching the surface of the centre of the brie, insert a skewer and if it comes out with melted cheese stuck to it, then you know it is ready. (If you overtake a brie, it goes hard in the middle)
4. Serving size – a 250g/8 oz brie will comfortably serve 6 people, if not 8 to 10. Brie is rich, and it’s made to seem even richer when melted. And also once melted, less goes further – the amount you can scoop onto a cracker is less than what you can cut & smear if it was not melted!
5. Honey / maple – I use both, it depends what I have on hand. I used to love maple more, but when I have a really good (local) honey, I prefer honey.
6. How long it stays gooey – in a ceramic dish, it will stay scoopable for a good 15 minutes or so. On paper, around 10 minutes, then for another 10 minutes or so you can smear it on with a knife.
7. Leftovers – AMAZING! The honey / maple syrup will be mixed through when the cheese hardens and it just makes it all the more delicious. Who cares if you have to scrape up the dregs and pop into a small ramekin? OR pile it onto toast and grill! *She swoons at the thought*
How to reheat – seconds in the microwave! A whole brie takes 2 minutes in the microwave, so use that as a baseline for leftover brie.
8. Nutrition per serving (assumes 6 servings, 250g/8oz brie, excludes crostini)
