JUMP TO RECIPE

Try saying that three times fast. Baked Berry Brie…Baked Brarry Bee…Braked… While it may not be easy to say it over and over again, this Baked Berry Brie Recipe is simple, delicious, and would be the perfect appetizer for your next “patriotic party.” Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Flag Day…I doubt there are many other countries with holidays that involve people celebrating with thousands of flags on every.single.thing.in.the.world. Here in ‘Murica, though, we take holidays that have any sense of patriotism to them, and we add tons and tons of American flags to the décor and call it a day. Don’t ask me why; I don’t exactly know.

Anyway, if you are inclined to make a red, white, and blue appetizer that also happens to be amazingly delicious, I think that this is the perfect recipe for you. You take a wheel of brie cheese, slice it in half, and stuff it with jam and do a bunch of other nice things to it.

The photo here is from when I invented this recipe while I was working at the cheese counter of a grocery store (it is often called “Whole Paycheck”…). You may notice that this cheese is not baked. This is what the brie wheel will look like beforehand; you should expect the cheese to be oozing and the berries to slump nicely on top.

I hope you’ll give it a try for your next get-together!

Baked Berry Brie Recipe

Servings: 6 to 8
Total Time: 15 minutes

1 (227 g) small, round brie
1/4 cup (80 g) raspberry jam
Approx. 1/2 cup (50 g) fresh raspberries
Approx 1/2 cup (50 g) fresh blueberries
1 tbsp honey (optional)
To serve: crackers, sliced apples, pretzel rods

Preheat the oven to 350 F/175 C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Slice the brie round in half lengthwise, through the equator, and place on the prepared sheet with the cut sides up.

Spread half of the jam on one piece of the brie. Place the other piece of the brie on top of the jam, cut side down. 

Spread the remaining jam over the top of the brie and arrange the berries in whichever pattern you like. I opted for a striped pattern.

Drizzle the top of the brie with honey. This can be omitted if you like, it’s just there to make the berries look shiny.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until it starts to ooze but not completely melt. You want the brie to retain its shape, so don’t be tempted to overbake it. Transfer the brie to a serving plate by lifting the parchment paper and sliding the brie off.

Serve with crackers, apple slices, pretzel rods, or anything else you can think of that would benefit from some fruity/cheesy goodness.

Cooking Note

You can substitute the raspberry jam for any flavor you have on hand. Some suggestions include strawberry, mixed berry, orange marmalade, lemon curd, anything that you enjoy would also be nice here!
