Ingredients

• 8 oz Brie cheese wheel
• 3 tbsp Honey
• 1 cup Pretzels
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
• 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Carefully unwrap the brie cheese and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a food processor, pulse the pretzels until they form coarse crumbs, avoiding making them too fine.

Step 4

Melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add the pretzel crumbs and stir until they are coated in the butter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes to slightly toast the pretzels.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and spread the buttered pretzel crumbs evenly over the top of the brie wheel.

Step 6

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the pretzel-covered brie, ensuring it seeps into some of the crevices.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the brie is soft and starting to ooze without melting completely.

Step 8

Remove the baked brie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey over the brie and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm with sliced baguette, apple slices, or additional pretzels for dipping.
