One of our favorites 🤩

Pistachio & Honey Baked Brie
This easy, elegant appetizer combines the creamy richness of brie with the nutty crunch of pistachios and a drizzle of sweet honey. It’s a perfect centerpiece for gatherings and pairs well with crackers or crusty bread.

🧾 Ingredients:
1 (8 oz) wheel of brie cheese
1/2 cup pistachios, roughly chopped (shelled, unsalted)
2-3 tablespoons honey (plus more for drizzling)
A pinch of sea salt
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional; rosemary or thyme sprigs work well)
Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving
🍽️ Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place the brie in a small oven-safe dish.
2️⃣ Prepare the Brie:

Unwrap the brie and place it on the prepared baking sheet or in the baking dish. You can score the top rind of the brie with a few shallow cuts to allow the honey and pistachios to seep into the cheese as it bakes.
3️⃣ Add Toppings:

Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of honey over the brie.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the top.
Add a pinch of sea salt for an extra flavor boost.
4️⃣ Bake the Brie:

Place the brie in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and beginning to melt (but not fully oozing).
5️⃣ Garnish & Serve:

Remove the brie from the oven and drizzle a bit more honey on top.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh fruits like figs or grapes for pairing.
🍴 Tips:
For extra flavor: Try adding a touch of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the brie is best enjoyed fresh and warm.
Enjoy this decadent, nutty, and sweet appetizer as the perfect crowd-pleaser for any occasion!
