Ingredients
- 1 wheel Brie cheese about 8 ounces
- 1/2 cup pistachios shelled and roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup honey preferably local or organic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to taste
- 1 loaf French baguette for serving
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the wheel of Brie in a small baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the chopped pistachios, honey, chopped rosemary, and vanilla extract if using. Stir until well combined.
- Spread the pistachio honey mixture evenly over the top of the Brie. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brie is soft and gooey but not melted all the way through. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
- While the Brie is baking, slice the French baguette into thin rounds and toast them lightly in the oven or on a grill.
- Once the Brie is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve warm with toasted baguette slices.
Notes
Tip 1: For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the honey mixture.
Tip 2: Baked Brie is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven before serving.
Variation: Substitute pistachios with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
