Servings: 16
Equipment
- Glass Pie Dish or any oven-safe dish
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Brie
- ⅓ cup Cherry Preserves
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- ¼ teaspoon Pumpkin Spice
- ¼ cup Roasted & Salted Pistachios unshelled; roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary roughly chopped (about 1 sprig)
- Flaky Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the brie: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an oven-safe dish with parchment paper and place the brie on top. Use a sharp knife to score a shallow criss cross pattern on the rind.
- Add the toppings: Spread the cherry preserves over the brie. Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with pumpkin spice, and add the chopped pistachios and rosemary.
- Bake the brie: Bake for 15 minutes. Check for doneness by gently inserting a knife into the center. The brie should feel soft and melted but still hold its shape. Bake 5 to 10 minutes longer if needed.
- Finish and serve: Remove the brie from the oven and sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve warm with sliced baguette, crackers, apple slices, or any of your favorite accompaniments.

Notes
- Brie: Keep the rind on since it helps the cheese hold its shape. Lightly score a criss cross pattern on top so the brie melts evenly.
- Preserves: Use any flavor you enjoy such as raspberry, blackberry, or fig.
- Pistachios: If using unsalted pistachios, add a small pinch of flaky salt at the end.
- Baking time: Start checking at 15 minutes. The brie should feel soft in the center while still holding its shape. Brie can collapse if it gets too hot. Remove it once it is fully softened.
- Serving: Serve warm with baguette, crackers, apple slices, or pear slices.
- Make ahead: Assemble up to 12 hours in advance and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
- Leftovers: Store leftovers for up to 3 or 4 days and reheat gently in a 300°F oven.
