Servings 7
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz wheel brie cheese
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 –3 tablespoons honey plus more for serving if desired
- 1 teaspoon olive oil optional, for softening berries
- Pinch of salt optional, enhances flavor balance
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
- Add the blueberries first by spreading them evenly across the bottom of the dish. This allows them to soften, release their juices, and create a slightly jammy base as they bake.
- Place the brie on top of the blueberries, positioning it in the center so the juices can cook underneath and infuse flavor into the cheese.
- Score the top of the brie lightly with a knife. This helps the brie melt more evenly and allows the honey to soak into the cheese after baking.
- Drizzle with honey directly over the scored brie, letting it settle into the cuts and slightly run over the sides.
- Bake the brie for 12–15 minutes, or until the center is soft, warm, and gooey but still holds its shape.
- Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with more honey (if desired) while warm so it slightly melts into the cheese.
- Garnish and serve with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh fruit.

Notes
- Do not remove the rind - The rind is edible and helps the brie hold its shape while baking.
- For extra flavor - Add chopped pecans or walnuts before baking for crunch.
- Want it extra jammy? - Bake the blueberries separately for 5 minutes before adding to the brie.
- Make it ahead - Assemble the brie with blueberries, cover, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Reheating tips - Warm leftovers in a 300°F oven until soft again (avoid microwave for best texture).
- Serving tip - This baked blueberry brie pairs perfectly with wine, making it ideal for entertaining or holiday gatherings.
