Ingredients

• 1 6- to 8-ounce; 170 to 225g round Brie or Camembert cheese, slightly chilled (see note)
• 1/4 cup lightly salted pistachios 2 ounces; 60g, shelled and roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons 30ml honey

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Using a sharp knife, score top rind of cheese in a crisscross pattern, spacing cuts about 1 inch apart.
• If cheese came in a wooden container, place it back in container (without any other packaging), then set on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. If it came in cardboard or other wrapping, place cheese directly on parchment-lined baking sheet, without any packaging. Bake until top is soft and runny, about 25 minutes.
• Top with chopped pistachios and drizzle with honey. Let rest 5 minutes, then serve.

Notes

If possible, use a triple-cream Brie, which has a higher fat content that melts better.
