Ingredients
- 8 oz Brie cheese
- 1 cup almonds, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 Tbsp butter, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the brie cheese into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch squares.
- In a bowl, combine the chopped almonds, honey, and thyme. Mix thoroughly to create a sticky, fragrant coating mixture.
- Dip each piece of brie into the almond mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.
- Arrange the almond-coated brie bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spaced evenly to allow for even baking.
- Place a small dollop of butter on top of each brie bite for added richness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the brie is sufficiently melted and the almonds have turned golden brown.
- Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving to prevent burns from the hot cheese.
