The rich, buttery cheese is delicious topped with honey, pomegranate seeds, pistachios, and herbs, and it takes 10 minutes to make.
This baked brie recipe might just be the best holiday appetizer out there. What could be better than rich, melty brie piled onto golden brown baguette with honey, fruit, and nuts? It’s also visually stunning, with a festive mix of red, white, and green colors. Baking time included, it takes 10 minutes to put together.
But as I experimented with this recipe, I found that I actually preferred the cheese without it. Instead, simply transfer the brie from the fridge to the oven! Note: It’s important that the brie is cold when it goes in the oven. Otherwise it will melt, not soften, while it bakes.
Second, skipping the puff pastry makes way for fun, festive garnishes! I love to use seasonal produce whenever I cook, and, here, fresh pomegranate seeds are the perfect addition. I finish it off with toasted pistachios, rosemary, honey, and sea salt to make the flavors pop. Tip: make sure to get a little of everything in each bite! Be sure to bake it on a sheet of parchment paper so that you can easily transfer it from the hot baking sheet to a serving platter. Then, sprinkle your garnishes on top of the brie.
I used a combination of pomegranate seeds, honey, pistachios, rosemary, and sea salt, and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Of course, this baked brie recipe would be delicious with other toppings as well. A fruit: Use a different seasonal fruit or jam instead of the pomegranates. A scoop of cherry jam or cranberry sauce would be wonderful, as would apple slices on the side for dipping! A nut: Swap the pistachios for chopped toasted walnuts or pecans. An herb: Try thyme leaves instead of the rosemary. Let me know what combinations you try!

Be sure to put the brie in the oven when it’s cold from the fridge, not at room temperature, so that it doesn’t melt completely as it bakes. Place the brie onto the baking sheet and bake 8 minutes, or until soft in the middle. Remove from the oven and top with pomegranate arils, pistachios, rosemary, and a generous drizzle of honey. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Serve with toasted baguette slices or crackers.
