Steps:
- Place brie on a plate and freeze until very firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Cut off top rind of brie with a sharp knife (it's okay if you can't get the rind off in one piece; brie will smooth out as it bakes).
- Toss rosemary, thyme, and oil on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet until coated. Spread herbs evenly on parchment. Place brie in the center so that it covers about half of the herbs. Bake until cheese is melted, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest to firm up slightly, about 5 minutes (if you skip this step, you risk spilling molten cheese all over your cutting board).
- Strip leaves from uncovered herbs and sprinkle over brie. Using parchment and a wide spatula, carefully slide brie and covered herbs onto a cutting board.
- Arrange mostarda, walnuts, pear slices, crackers, and baguette slices around cutting board; serve brie warm.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Opt for a good-quality Brie cheese, fresh herbs, and a flavorful olive oil.
- Don't overcook the Brie: Brie is a soft cheese that can easily become overcooked. Bake it just until it is melted and gooey in the center, about 15-20 minutes.
- Let the Brie rest before serving: Once the Brie is baked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to set.
- Serve with your favorite accompaniments: Baked Brie can be served with a variety of accompaniments, such as crackers, bread, fruit, and nuts. Choose accompaniments that complement the flavors of the cheese.
Conclusion:
Herbed baked Brie is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give herbed baked Brie a try.
