Celebrating with Friends + Family
When entertaining, it’s all about being with those you love. And the food you love! Like this baked brie recipe.
Appetizers and nibbles are wonderful before a big celebration dinner. Or, as standalone delights.
Often, foodies think it’s easier to prepare appetizers and Hors-d’oeuvres, rather than a meal when entertaining. Only to find that indeed they can be a lot of work.
But they don’t have to be. And they shouldn’t be.
Almost Effortless, Easy Elegance
This baked brie recipe is inspired by a dish my dear friend Gina made one evening before we moved from San Diego to the Central Coast of California.
It has a special place in my heart… so does Gina.
Savory, sweet, warm, and buttery. This dish is pure love and comfort!
Serve this quick, easy, and oh-so-impressive appetizer at your next gathering. Your guests will circle around its deliciousness, until well… it’s gone.
10 Minutes to Baked Brie Recipe Perfection
While your brie quickly bakes in the oven, slice up a french baguette on the bias for a pretty presentation.
Or present your beautiful baked brie with crackers, mini croissants, sliced apples, pears or figs.
We love our combination: Creamy, oozy, earthy cheese… with local raw sage honey, sweetened dried cranberries, and crunchy candied pecans.
We also love it with our Pumpkin Spiced Walnuts for a different nut variation.
You can, of course, get creative with this baked brie recipe using any nuts you like…
Chopped pistachios, walnuts, cashews, or almonds are all wonderful.
But don’t skip the honey!

A Toast to Those We Love
This gorgeous dish is even better with the right wine.
Champagne or dry, traditional method sparkling wines are lovely with baked brie. And they add a special, celebratory touch.
Here are a few we really like:
Dry, fruity Rosés, unoaked Chardonnays, and light-bodied Sauvignon Blancs also pair beautifully with this dish.
These are some very nice choices:
Here’s a toast to this delicious recipe’s inspiration, Gina… to you, and those you love!

- 1 large wedge double cream brie cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup candied pecans
- french bread baguette sliced
- sprig rosemary optional garnish
Ingredients
| |
- Position the oven rack in the middle or lower third position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place brie wedge on a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle honey over brie. Bake for 7-10 minutes until cheese softens and just begins to ooze.
- While brie is in the oven, rough chop pecans.
- Carefully remove from oven to a serving plate. Honey is very hot. Top with dried cranberries and chopped pecans. Serve immediately with sliced French bread, crackers or sliced fruit.
We used two spatulas to easily transfer - one on each end of the wedge to easily move the hot brie to a serving plate.

What a delightful, delicious and easy recipe! I made the brie to go with our Christmas dinner, but I think next time I will make it just for myself as a special treat, along with a glass of wine. 💗
So glad you enjoyed the brie dish, Jennifer! We say treat yourself and enjoy it with that glass of vino! Thanks so much for sharing the love!
