- Transfer the baking sheet or Brie baker to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the Brie is soft and gooey in the center.
- Keep an eye on the Brie as it bakes to ensure it doesn't melt completely and lose its shape.
- Once baked, carefully remove the Brie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the baked Brie with sliced baguette or crackers. Guests can scoop out portions of the warm, gooey cheese and enjoy the wonderful combination of flavors from the garlic and honey.Sliced baguette or crackers
- Remember that the Brie will be very hot, so caution your guests before they dig in.
Notes
- Score the Brie carefully: Make shallow crosshatch cuts to hold the garlic without cutting all the way through.
- Slice garlic thin: Thin slivers slip easily into the cheese and roast evenly.
- Use room temperature cheese: This helps the Brie bake evenly and melt perfectly.
- Drizzle honey last: Add honey right before baking or just after for the best balance of sweetness.
- Serve immediately: The Brie is at its best warm and gooey straight from the oven.
