Grilled brie is an easy appetizer that is delicious in the summer and fall months. I love to top it with a drizzle of honey and chopped walnuts (or pecans). It’s easy to customize with an array of toppings!

Equipment

1 Cedar plank

Ingredients

7 ounces brie wedge
3 tablespoons walnuts or pecans, chopped
3 tablespoons honey

Instructions

Soak a cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours. This will keep it from burning.
Preheat your grill to medium high.
Place your cheese on the plank. Place plank on top of the grate.
Grill with lid closed for 7-8 minutes. Add honey and nuts over the top, and grill for another 2 minutes to warm through.
Remove from grill and serve warm directly from cedar plank, or remove to a platter.

Notes

Brie rind is edible. For this grilled brie, it's best to leave it on to help it keep its shape as it warms.

Use a cedar plank to grill your brie wedge. If you don't have one, that's okay - try heavy duty aluminum foil! You can use a full brie round (with rind on) directly on the grill grate, but watch it carefully to ensure it doesn't melt too quickly and burst out of the rind.

Variations and Serving Suggestions

This recipe also works well with mozzarella!
Add berries, peaches, apples or preserves
Try whipped honey or our favorite hot honey
Use seasoned spicy or sweet nuts (like our candied nuts)
Drizzle with a balsamic glaze
Or, try raspberry sauce or strawberry topping with this brie.

Storage Notes

Use Within 3-4 Days: Baked brie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The longer it’s stored, the more the texture and flavor may change.

Freezing: If you need to store it for a longer period, you can freeze baked brie. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, and place it in a freezer-safe bag. It can be frozen for up to a month. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheating

When you’re ready to enjoy the baked brie again, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the wrappings and place the brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Heat for about 10-15 minutes or until it’s warmed through and melty again. Avoid reheating in the microwave, which can result in uneven melting.
