Ingredients
- 8 oz wheel Brie or Camembert Cheese (in wooden box)
- 1 tsp dry white wine,
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, slivered, or crushed garlic
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely chop rosemary or thyme and thinly slice garlic.
- Line a baking tray with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the wheel of Brie and place it back in the wooden box. If the brie is not in a wooden box then place it in a small ovenproof container.
- Score the top of the Brie with small slices or X's. Wrap the outside of the wheel in foil in case there are any leaks.
- Place garlic slices into the X's. Pour wine over the top and sprinkle with the thyme or rosemary.
- Bake directly, uncovered, in the wooden box (or ovenproof dish) for 15-20 minutes until lightly melty and bubbly.
- Carefully remove from the baking sheet with a spatula, remove foil from the outside of the box, and place on a platter.
- Serve hot with bread, crackers, and apple slices.
Notes
- Substitute olive oil for white wine, if desired
- Any fresh herbs will work in place of the rosemary or thyme
- Want it a little sweeter? Try a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. A teaspoon of apricot jam, fig jam, raspberry jam, or cranberry sauce on top, instead of wine and garlic, turns this into one of the best holiday appetizers.
- Add crumbled walnuts or pecans to the top before baking for added crunch. You may want to give the nuts a light egg wash before baking.
- Want some spice? Sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top or dab of hot pepper jelly.
