Ingredients

6 servings

For 6 servings

250–500 g (8–16 oz) round brie, or camembert; good value is fine
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup, optional
1 thyme sprig, optional

For serving

crostini or other sturdy crackers
1 bunch grapes, purple or green; optional

Equipment

Oven
Small, shallow ovenproof dish
Parchment paper
Serving plate or board
Knife
Cheese or pâté knife

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
Step 2: Unwrap the brie and place it in a small, shallow ovenproof dish slightly larger than the cheese, which can also be used for serving. Alternatively, place it on a piece of crumpled baking or parchment paper to make it easier to transfer.
Step 3: Oven method: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes for a 250g brie, or until melted through. For a 500g brie, increase the baking time to 25 minutes. To check, gently touch the centre; it should feel very soft, as if it is about to collapse if pressed any harder.
Step 4: Microwave method: Microwave on high for 2 minutes, in 30-second increments.
Step 5: Carefully transfer the brie to a serving plate or board; it is delicate. If you used parchment, transfer it on the paper.
Step 6: Drizzle with honey and top with a sprig of thyme, if using.
Step 7: Serve immediately with crostini for scooping. Provide a knife to cut through the rind and a cheese knife, pâté knife, or similar knife to scoop the cheese onto crostini or crackers, plain or fruit-and-nut flavoured.

Notes

An economical brie or camembert works well here. In a ceramic dish, the melted cheese stays scoopable for about 15 minutes; on parchment, it stays scoopable for about 10 minutes, then can be spread with a knife for about 10 more minutes.

Reheat leftover brie in the microwave; use 2 minutes as a baseline for a whole brie.
