Honey Thyme Sweet Cherry Baked Brie
Servings 4
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Small Saucepan
- Small Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
- Pinch of flakey sea salt
- 1 baguette, sliced on an angle
- 1 (8-oz) wheel of double creme brie
- 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Make the crostini by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly crisp. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Prepare the infused honey by adding the honey, fresh thyme, and sea salt to a small saucepan over low heat and cooking until it boils. Remove from the heat and let the honey sit for 5 minutes or until ready to serve. Side Note: If you make the honey in advance, reheat it a bit right before serving so it drizzles well.
- Prepare the brie by coating a small cast-iron skillet with olive oil cooking spray.
- Place the brie round in a small cast-iron skillet, then put it into the oven. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the brie is softened. Remove from the oven.
- Prepare the cherries by placing the halved & pitted cherries and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cherries begin to release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
- To serve, spoon the cherries on top of the warm baked brie, then drizzle with some of the infused honey, to taste.
- Serve immediately with the warm crostini and extra honey on the side. Enjoy!
