Simple Baked Brie With Honey and Pistachios Recipe

Nothing says let’s party like a baked brie. Add some seasonal fruit, nuts, honey, or jam and your guests might never leave. 

This recipe for baked brie with thyme and fig jam has additional information on selecting the perfect cheese. Or if you’re throwing an autumn party, this brie en croûte with apple and pear compote might be the perfect appetizer. 

Any small bloomy rind cheese, preferably a triple cream, will work here, it doesn’t have to be the most expensive wheel of cheese in the case.

This baked brie is simple, just score the rind and top it with pistachios and a little drizzled honey. And that's it. If your wheel came in a thin wooden container, you can bake it straight in that. (Don't forget to remove the paper wrapper, though!) We recommend that you set the container on some parchment paper on a baking tray, just in case. Some wheels will be packaged in a cardboard container, which we don't recommend putting in the oven. Instead, you can bake it directly on the parchment, or use a small oven-safe dish.

After baking, serve with crackers, baguette, or thinly sliced apple.
