Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 wheel of brie cheese 8-10 ounces
- 2 tablespoons honey + more to drizzle
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
- Sprinkle of crushed red chili flakes optional
- 1 baguette sliced and toasted
- 1/4 cup garlic confit
- 4-6 slices of prosciutto
- Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the brie cheese: Place the brie cheese wheel on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, make shallow cuts across the top of the cheese in a crisscross pattern, creating a diamond-shaped pattern. This will allow the flavors to infuse into the cheese.
- Add the honey, rosemary, & optional red chili flakes: Drizzle the honey over the top of the brie, ensuring it seeps into the cuts. Sprinkle the finely chopped rosemary leaves evenly over the cheese. Season with a sprinkle of chili flakes for added flavor.
- Bake the brie: Place the baking sheet with the prepared brie in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and gooey, and the honey has started to caramelize. Keep a close eye on it to prevent over-browning.
- Toast the bread: While the brie is baking, Place the bread on a separate baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Assemble the dish: Once the brie is done baking, carefully transfer it to a serving platter. Surround the baked brie with the toasted bread slices. Tear the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and arrange them alongside the bread with a small serving dish of garlic confit. This will allow your guests to create their own delectable bites.
- Serve and enjoy: Garnish the baked brie with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary and an extra drizzle of honey, if desired. Encourage your guests to spread a piece of garlic, then the warm gooey brie onto the crispy bread and top it with a piece of prosciutto. The combination of flavors and textures will surely impress!
