- 250-300 g double cream brie
- 1 1/2 cups chopped ripe peaches
- 2 tbsp liquid honey
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- fresh thyme leaves
- crackers or crostini for serving
Variation: Grilled Peach & Pecan Baked Brie
- 3 tbsp liquid honey, divided
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups sliced ripe peaches
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of chili flakes
- 250-300 g double cream brie
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- fresh thyme leaves
- crackers or crostini for serving
Instructions
Easy Peach & Pecan Baked Brie
- Preheat your oven to 375°Fahrenheit and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- To the baking dish add the fresh chopped peaches, 2 tablespoons of honey and cinnamon. Use a spoon to toss the peaches so they're coated in the honey and cinnamon.
- Nestle the brie into the peaches and lightly score the top of the rind of brie in a diagonal pattern with a sharp knife.
- Spoon a few spoonfuls of the peaches in the dish on top of the brie.
- Bake the brie in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is starting to bubble. Garnish with the chopped pecans and fresh thyme leaves. Serve with crackers or crostini!
Variation: Grilled Peach & Pecan Baked Brie
- Preheat the barbecue to medium-high heat (400-425F). Score the brie with a sharp knife and rub 1 tablespoon honey on top and set aside on a plate
- Once the barbecue is hot, add the cast iron pan to the grill and add the olive oil to the pan. Add the sliced peaches, 2 tablespoons of honey, cinnamon and chili flakes and stir to combine. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the peaches are starting to soften and the mixture is starting to simmer.
- Once the peaches have softened and are starting to simmer, nestle the brie into the peaches and close the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the brie cheese is starting to melt and ooze out. You can toast bread slices on the grill too during this time if you'd like.
- Once the brie is melted to your liking, spoon over some of the peaches from the pan and then remove from the grill. Before serving garnish the brie with the pecans and fresh thyme leaves. Serve with the toasted baguette or crackers of your choice.
Notes
- If you have a nut allergy, remove the pecans from the recipe. Once the brie has been baked, add a sprinkle of granola to get that crunch!
- To make crostini to serve with the baked brie, preheat your oven to 400°Fahrenheit and slice a baguette into 1-inch thick slices. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and place on a single layer on your baking sheet. Toast for 10 minutes, making sure to flip the slices halfway through. You could also use a sourdough baguette for this!
- For a spicy kick, you can use hot honey instead of regular honey.
- In a pinch you could use peach jam or peach preserves instead of fresh peaches, about 1/2 cup. Simply top the brie with the jam and drizzle the honey and cinnamon on top before baking.
