Ingredients
  

Artisan Baked Brie & Topping
  • 1 wheel (8 oz / 225g) quality French brie or Camembert cheese
  • 1/3 cup raw pecan halves, roughly chopped
  • 2 1/2 tbsp pure wildflower honey (or hot honey)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted European butter
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper or crushed red pepper flakes
Serving Accompaniments
  • 1 box artisan water crackers or sliced crusty baguette
  • 1 medium Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
  • 1 small bunch red seedless grapes

Method
 

Baking Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the brie wheel in a small cast-iron skillet, oven-safe ceramic baking dish, or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Using a sharp paring knife, gently score a crosshatch pattern (shallow diamond cuts about 1/8-inch deep) across the top rind. Do not cut all the way through.
  3. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add chopped pecans and toast gently for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and golden.
  4. Remove pecan skillet from heat, stir in the honey and chopped rosemary, and spoon evenly over the top of the scored brie wheel.
  5. Bake uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes at 375°F until the cheese softens completely, puffs slightly, and is warm and molten inside.
  6. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and cracked pepper. Rest for 3 minutes, then serve immediately hot with crackers, fresh apple slices, and crusty bread.
