Baked Brie with Apricot Preserves (Printable)

Creamy Brie baked with apricot preserves and toasted pecans, a perfect starter for any occasion.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 (8-ounce) wheel Brie cheese

02 - 1/3 cup apricot preserves

03 - 1/3 cup pecan halves or pieces, toasted

04 - 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

05 - Assorted crackers or sliced baguette

06 - Fresh thyme sprigs (optional, for garnish)

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a small baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Place the Brie wheel, leaving the rind intact, in the center of the prepared dish.

03 - Spoon the apricot preserves evenly over the top of the Brie.

04 - Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the preserves. Drizzle with honey, if using.

05 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is soft and beginning to ooze but not completely melted.

06 - Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.

07 - Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette.

01 -

Five minutes of prep turns into something that looks like you hired a caterer
The warm, gooey cheese against sweet preserves and salty pecans creates the most perfect bite

02 -

Dont skip the parchment paper unless you enjoy spending your evening scrubbing cheese off baking dishes
The cheese keeps cooking after you pull it out, so err on the side of slightly underdone

03 -

Toast your pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes, shaking frequently, until they smell fragrant
If the rind on your Brie looks particularly thick or waxed, you can slice off just the very top layer before topping
