Make baked brie with maple syrup, thyme, and pecans for an easy warm appetizer that is ready in 20 minutes with crackers or fruit for dipping.
Prep: 5 minutes minutes
Cook: 15 minutes minutes
Total: 20 minutes minutes
Ingredients
- 1 wheel brie cheese about 8 ounces
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves plus sprigs for garnish
- 1/3 cup pecans roughly chopped
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt for finishing
- as needed crackers, sliced baguette, or apple wedges for serving
Instructions
Heat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Line a small oven-safe dish with parchment and place the brie inside.
Score the top rind lightly in a crosshatch pattern, stopping before you cut through the cheese.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the top, then scatter over the thyme and pecans.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The cheese is ready when the center feels very soft under gentle pressure.
Rest for two minutes, finish with flaky salt and extra thyme, and serve immediately.
