Ingredients
Apricot Mixture
- 1/2 cup dried apricots (roughly chopped)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds (roughly chopped)
- 1/4 cup apricot jam
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1/8 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
Main Ingredient
- 8 ounce wheel of brie
- crackers (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brie.
- Prepare Apricot Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine dried apricots, sliced almonds, apricot jam, finely chopped rosemary, and kosher salt. Stir well until evenly mixed to create a flavorful topping.
- Assemble Brie: Place the wheel of brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Generously spoon the apricot mixture over the top of the brie, evenly covering the surface.
- Bake the Brie: Bake the brie for 10-12 minutes, until the outside of the cheese is warm to the touch and the inside is melted and gooey.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cheese to rest for 5 minutes to slightly firm up. Serve warm alongside crackers for dipping and spreading.
Notes
- Use a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Ensure the brie is at room temperature before baking for more even melting.
- Fresh rosemary adds a fragrant herbal note, but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Serve immediately after resting to enjoy the optimal gooey texture.
- Try substituting apricot jam with other fruit preserves like fig or raspberry for different flavor profiles.
