This easy baked brie recipe is any cheese lover’s dream. After about five minutes, it comes out as a delicious gooey cheese that is amazing just by itself or with some crackers. A nice baked brie wine also goes amazingly well with the cheese.
This recipe is super simple and won’t take you long at all. If you’re short on time and want something warm and delicious, then this recipe is perfect for you. You can easily feed a couple of people with this cheese, or you can keep it all to yourself. Keep in mind this is super rich, and I found that half a wheel of brie was more than enough for me. I find sliced apple is the best match for the brie. Also, if you have some around, then an olive tapenade is super delicious when you combine it with a cracker and the soft, warm brie.
There are so many dips that go great with this cheese such as caramelized onion dip, or smoked salmon dip. I highly recommend giving them a try if you’re feeling a little adventurous. Other additions such as compotes, different cheeses, deli meats, and nut mixes go amazing alongside this delicious baked brie. Toppings for the CheeseA delicious homemade caramelized onion chutney is an excellent topping and matches nicely with the cheese.
If you don’t have the time, then a store-bought chutney will work just as well. For a sweeter cheese, you can top it with a combination of honey and rosemary. I recommend using fresh rosemary and high-quality honey for the best tasting result. Another sweet topping that will work nicely is chopped apples and caramel sauce. It involves a bit more time in the kitchen but is definitely worth the effort.
My last recommendation is savory and is very delicious. You can simply scatter some sun-dried tomatoes and a bit of thyme over the top of the cheese. It tastes as good as it sounds. There are hundreds of different combinations that you can use as a topping on the cheese, and above are just a couple of my favorites.
