Social gatherings are about so much more than what food is served. It’s about the connections and moments made over the cheese board. But why not bring a dish to impress to make the moment even better? Baked brie is so easy and a crowd favorite. I often see baked brie wrapped in pastry but to keep this effortlessly gluten free, we just bake it on it’s own, then top with honey (or jam) once it’s plated.
What You’ll Need
- Round of Brie
- Honey (or jam of choice)
- Fresh thyme
- Gluten free bread (we like Schar) or crackers
Variations of Baked Brie
It is so easy to top this with honey, but you could get fancy with different jams. This would be delicious with fig or cherry jam, or you could find a unique flavor like strawberry jalapeno, mango habanero, or red pepper jelly.
FAQ
Why Make Baked Brie?
This really is a party food. Though you can buy individual brie bites that would be a delightful little snack to toast in the toaster oven and top with honey or jam. Without the pastry, this is gluten free, and can easily be served with gluten free bread or crackers.
Can You Use Other Cheeses?
If you can’t find regular brie rounds or want to try something new, you could branch out and get other soft ripened cheeses like goat brie or camembert.
Making Ahead/Storage
This really is best when served immediately. You can store in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple of days.
