Ingredients
- 8¾-17¾ oz / 8 - 16 oz round brie (or camembert)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup ((optional))
- 1 thyme sprig ((optional))
- Crostini
- 1 bunch purple grapes ((or green, optional))
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F and unwrap the brie.
- Set the brie in a small, shallow ovenproof dish just larger than the round, or on a crumpled sheet of baking paper that will help you move it afterwards.
- Bake a 8¾ oz brie for 15 to 20 minutes, or a 17¾ oz brie for about 25 minutes, until the centre feels very soft when you press it gently, as if it is about to slump.
- Alternatively, microwave the brie on high for 2 minutes, checking it in 30 second bursts.
- Move the baked brie carefully onto its serving plate or board, carrying it on the paper if you baked it that way, because the rind is all that holds the melted centre in.
- Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the hot brie and lay the thyme sprig on top if you are using it.
- Serve the brie immediately with the crostini for scooping and the purple grapes alongside, giving everyone a knife to cut through the rind.
