Lavender-Infused Honey Baked Brie

This sumptuous and elegant appetizer marries the rich, velvety textures of brie cheese with the aromatic allure of lavender, all drizzled with the sweetness of golden honey. Baked to gooey perfection, it is a delightful symphony of flavors that is sure to enchant your taste buds and impress your guests. Originating from France, brie cheese is a staple in French cuisine, known for its creamy texture and mild flavor. The addition of lavender, which is traditionally used in the Provence region of France, gives a unique twist to this classic dish.

Serves 6

Ingredients

Brie cheese
1 round (8 ounces)
Dried lavender
1/2 teaspoon
Honey
3 tablespoons
Crackers or bread
as needed for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the round of brie cheese on a baking dish or an oven-safe serving dish.
  3. Evenly sprinkle the dried lavender over the top of the brie. The lavender will infuse its aroma into the cheese as it bakes.
  4. Drizzle the honey over the brie, ensuring it covers the lavender. The honey will caramelize slightly in the oven, enhancing its sweet flavor.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft, gooey, and slightly golden on top.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and intensify.
  7. Serve the baked brie warm with crackers or bread for dipping. Enjoy this delightful fusion of sweet, savory, and floral flavors.

Tips

  • 💡 For a variation, consider adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts before baking for added crunch.
  • 💡 Pair this appetizer with a crisp white wine or a light and fruity red wine to complement the rich flavors.
