Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 (12 to 14 ounce) wheel Brie cheese, in wooden box

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

  • freshly cracked black pepper to taste

  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped

  • crushed red pepper to taste

  • toasted baguette slices for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

  2. Remove lid from Brie box and set aside for serving. Remove Brie from any inner packaging and return the cheese to the bottom half of the box. Score the top of the rind to slightly expose the cheese underneath.  

  3. Add butter and garlic to a small bowl and microwave until melted, about 45 seconds. Season with pepper; spoon butter mixture over Brie. Place Brie on a rimmed baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until gooey and melted, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with thyme and crushed red pepper. Place Brie into the top of the box for extra support for serving and transfer to a serving platter. Served with toasted baguette slices.
