Ingredient Notes

Brie Cheese: buttery and creamy! This is a really versatile cheese. If it's your first time eating brie make sure to eat the rind!

Puff Pastry: My buttery and flaky freezer staple! When baked to a perfect golden it is addicting. You can find puff pastry in the freezer section at your local grocery store.

Honey: adds just the perfect amount of sweetness to cut through the rich cheese.

White Truffle Oil: Very earthy, pungent and deliciously funky. Can find a variety of truffle oils at Whole Foods, Williams Sonoma or order online at Amazon (this is the variety I use).

Egg: used as an egg wash to ensure we get a perfectly golden brown. The ratio for egg wash is 1 egg + 1 tablespoon of water beaten together.

Expert Tips:

  • On a Roll: A rolling pin is what is recommended to roll out the dough. But, a wine bottle can be used as a rolling pin in a pinch with limited kitchen tools.
  • Keep it clean!: Lining your baking pan with parchment paper- before putting the brie down helps reduce residue on the pan. Also, you can pick up the parchment paper to transfer the brie to whatever platter you use.

Recipe FAQs

Puff pastry substitutions

Substitute layered & buttered, phyllo dough sheets for the puff pastry or crescent roll dough in a pinch. Just make sure to press together the perforation in the dough.

Truffle honey substitutions?

While I love the combination of honey and brie! But, fruit and cheese are a classic pairing. Use any type of fruit jam - raspberry, strawberry, fig, apricot, peach ,etc.

What do I serve with Truffle Honey Baked Brie?

- Crackers + Bread: the perfect eatable vessel for shoving oozy cheese into your mouth. Baguette and plain crackers are the best so it does not compete with the flavor of the baked brie. You can also serve with crostini.
- Fresh Fruit: Any variety of apple, grapes and pears.
- Mixed Nuts: makes the dish more substantial and offer more earthiness.

How to make baked brie even better? Add truffle honey! No need to try and get your hands on truffles. Instead, use delicious white truffle oil. It adds a savory earthiness with compliments the sweetness of the honey. This is one appetizer you will want to make all year long! Hot melty cheese in a golden puff pastry? Yes, please!
