🧂 Ingredients

1 8-ounce wheel of brie cheese
1 apple
1 pear
2 tablespoons honey, maple syrup, jam, fruit preserves, or orange marmalade
2 tablespoons sliced almonds or other chopped nuts

Instructions

1 Make sure the oven rack that you will bake the brie on is in the center of the
oven. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2 Slice the apple and pear into thin slices, not too thin so they can be sturdy
enough to top with the baked brie cheese at serving.
3 Prepare your baking sheet. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and place it on
a baking sheet or an oven-safe dish. Make sure the sheet or dish you are using
is big enough to fit the brie.
4 If your brie cheese is wrapped, remove the wrapping and discard it. Place the
brie on the baking sheet or dish. You could also slice the brie in half, so you
have 2 thin circles.
5 Top the brie with honey or your choice of sweet sauce. Then top with the sliced
almonds or other chopped nuts. If you are baking 2 thinner brie circles, add
half of the honey or sweet sauce and almonds or nuts to the top of one circle,
then place the other brie circle on top–like making a sandwich. Top the brie
with the remaining toppings.
6 Bake the brie for 10 to 12 minutes. The brie is baked when it is soft to touch.
7 When the brie is done baking, remove it from the oven and use a spatula to
carefully transfer it from your baking sheet to a serving platter or cheese
board. Top with optional mint garnish or chop the mint and sprinkle on top of
the brie. Place the apple and pear slices all around the brie and serve with a
cheese knife and appetizer plates.
