Ingredients
For the Baked Brie:
- 1 (8 oz) wheel of Brie cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh peaches (peeled and sliced)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (lightly toasted, optional)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)
For Serving:
- Fresh baguette slices
- Crackers
- Fresh fruit (such as grapes or apple slices)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Brie: Place the Brie cheese on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small baking dish. Leave the rind on to help the cheese hold its shape while baking.
- Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the sliced peaches, chopped pecans, honey, brown sugar, and cinnamon (if using). Stir gently to combine.
- Assemble: Spoon the peach and pecan mixture evenly over the top of the Brie.
- Bake: Bake the Brie for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and soft in the center, and the topping is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the Brie from the oven and let it sit for a minute to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired. Serve with sliced baguette, crackers, and fresh fruit.
Notes
- You can use canned peaches if fresh ones are out of season, but fresh is always best.
- To toast the pecans, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until they are fragrant and lightly golden.
- For an extra touch, you can also add a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the finished Brie.
