Ingredients
- 1 wheel of Brie cheese
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Brie cheese melts perfectly during the cooking process.
- While the oven is preheating, prepare your ingredients. Rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Place the wheel of Brie cheese on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help with easy cleanup and prevent the cheese from sticking.
- Using a sharp knife, score the top of the Brie cheese in a crisscross pattern. This will allow the heat to penetrate better and help the cheese melt evenly.
- Sprinkle the tablespoon of brown sugar evenly over the scored surface of the Brie. This will create a delicious caramelized crust when baked.
- Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of honey over the brown sugar, ensuring that it seeps into the scored areas of the cheese.
- Place the baking sheet with the Brie in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
- While the Brie is baking, prepare your serving dish. Arrange the fresh raspberries around the edge of the plate, creating a beautiful presentation.
- Once the Brie is done baking, carefully remove it from the oven. Allow it to cool for a minute before serving, as it will be very hot.
- Transfer the baked Brie to the serving dish, placing it in the center surrounded by the fresh raspberries.
- Serve immediately, allowing guests to scoop out the warm, gooey cheese with the raspberries. Enjoy this delightful French-inspired appetizer!
