Easy Baked Brie With Honey And Pistachios
A wheel of brie, warmed until molten and runny, then drizzled with honey and pistachios elevates any cheese plate. It's fondue without the pot.
Servings: 6 -8
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.
