Ingredients

Scale
  • 8-ounce (225 g) wheel of brie, preferably whole and uncut, creamy triple-cream variety
  • 2–3 tablespoons good-quality honey (local wildflower honey recommended)
  • 1 cup mixed grapes, halved (red or green)
  • 1 medium apple, thinly sliced (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended)
  • Fresh figs or sliced pears (seasonal, optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Small sprigs of thyme or rosemary (optional, for garnish)
  • Crackers or baguette slices for serving (crusty French baguette or water crackers recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. If toasting nuts, place pecans or walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring often until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  3. Rinse and dry grapes, slice apples thinly (leave skins on), and slice figs or pears into bite-sized pieces if using.
  4. Lightly score the rind on top of the brie with a sharp knife in a crisscross pattern.
  5. Place the brie in an oven-safe baking dish or small cast iron skillet.
  6. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of honey evenly over the top of the brie.
  7. Bake the brie for 12-15 minutes until soft and just starting to ooze but still holding its shape.
  8. Remove the brie from the oven carefully.
  9. Sprinkle the toasted nuts on top and arrange the fresh fruit around the cheese on the serving board or platter.
  10. Garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary if desired.
  11. Serve immediately with crackers or sliced baguette.

Notes

Let brie come to room temperature before baking for even melting. Watch closely to avoid overbaking. Add fruit and nuts fresh after baking to prevent drying out. For vegan or dairy-free options, substitute brie with plant-based soft cheese and honey with maple syrup. Toast nuts carefully to avoid burning. Sprinkle flaky sea salt before serving for extra flavor.
