Garlic Baked Brie is a warm, gooey cheese appetizer featuring a wheel of creamy brie baked to perfection, topped with fragrant garlic-infused butter and fresh parsley. This elegant yet simple dish is perfect for serving with crackers or crostini at parties or cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 8 ounce brie cheese wheel

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Bake Brie: Unwrap the brie cheese wheel and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the center is soft and melted. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out warm and soft. Once done, transfer the brie to a serving plate carefully.
  3. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the brie is baking, melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the garlic just starts to lightly brown and becomes fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Remove the skillet from heat promptly.
  4. Assemble: Pour the warm garlic butter evenly over the baked brie. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper, then garnish with fresh chopped parsley to add color and a fresh herby flavor.
  5. Serve: Serve the garlic baked brie immediately with crackers or crostini for dipping. This dish is best enjoyed warm to appreciate the melty, creamy texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for parsley if desired.
  • For added texture, top with chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans before serving.
  • Make sure not to overbake the brie to keep it melty and creamy inside.
  • Use a mild brie for a less intense cheese flavor if preferred.
  • This dish pairs well with white wine or light red wines.
