Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil lightly brush

- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- Red Pepper Flakes optional, to taste
- Crusty Bread for serving
Instructions
Baked Honey Brie Made Stepwise
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Let the 8-ounce brie cheese round come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Lightly brush the brie round with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to create a golden, slightly crispy exterior once baked.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of honey with 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and optional red pepper flakes to taste. Stir until well blended.
- Place the oiled brie in your oven-safe dish or skillet. Drizzle the honey-thyme mixture generously over the top of the cheese, then sprinkle 1 cup of shelled pistachios over the honey.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is soft and melty but not collapsed, and the pistachios are lightly toasted.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with slices of crusty bread for dipping.
