Directions to Make Easy Brie Dip Appetizer
Prep and Preheat
To make this recipe, begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a baking dish where you’ll place the brie to bake and serve.
Arrange the Brie and Toppings
Unwrap the wheel of brie, remove the rind, and place it in the dish. Dice California cling peaches and put them on top of the brie. Next, toss in a handful of crushed pecans.
Add Herbs and Honey
Sprinkle fresh thyme over the peaches and nuts, then add finely sliced basil or sage leaves for added depth of flavor. Add a generous drizzle of honey for a balanced sweetness for the brie appetizer.
Bake and Serve Baked Brie Dip
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the brie is melted and the toppings begin to brown slightly. Remove from the oven and serve warm with fresh bread or crackers for dipping.
Storage Instructions for Brie Recipe
Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, place the dip in a 250°F oven until warmed through—avoid microwaving, as it may change the texture of the brie cheese.
