With just three ingredients and a few minutes you canhave a beautiful and festive holiday appetizer to share with friends and family. This Honey Almond Baked Brie recipe is salty, sweet, creamy, and crunchy — making it the perfect party food for any gathering!

The holiday season is in full swing, and we all know that any good party requires delicious food!

At a time of year when we’re already incredibly busy, the last thing that we need to do is add stress to our schedule by fussing over complicated dishes. Instead, serve a crowd-pleasing and SIMPLE appetizer at your next party!

This warm, soft, and creamy baked brie with honey will leave a lasting impression on your guests — and nobody needs to know that it only requires 3 ingredients!

How do I make Baked Brie?

You need just 3 ingredients for this easy baked brie recipe:

• Roasted Salted Almonds
• Honey
• 8 ounce round of Brie cheese
• and optional herbs for added seasoning, if desired!

I like to use either these lightly salted almonds:

or these Honey Roasted almonds. They work equally well in this recipe, so justgo with whichever flavor you prefer!

First, place the brie on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees F. Keep an eye on it, because you want it soft, but you don’t want to forget about it and wind up with a melted pile of goo in your oven!

While the cheese cools for a few minutes, you can prepare the warm topping. Simply heat the honey and herbs in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Stir in the chopped almonds, and then spoon the honey mixture over the warm baked brie. Garnish with additional herbs, if desired!

What goes with Baked Brie?

This baked brie recipe without pastry is perfect on top of a sliced baguette, but you can also serve it with crackers. If you’re like my grandmother, you ALWAYS have brie during the holidays, along with a glass of wine and some Table Water crackers!

Garnish the cheeseboard with Candied Pecans, some fresh fruit such as grapes or figs, and don’t forget the 3-Ingredient Cranberry Orange Sauce on the side. A dollop of cranberry sauce along with a slice of the warm Brie is basically heaven in your mouth!

Oh, and you might just want to have some extra honey on hand for drizzling…it’s always a good idea, in my opinion! This is truly the best baked brie recipe!!

COOK’S TIPS AND RECIPE VARIATIONS – BAKED BRIE RECIPE:

• Keep an eye on your brie as it’s baking. You want it to be soft, but you don’t want an oozing mess!
• I light the salted roasted almonds, but you can substitute with other chopped nuts if you prefer. Pecans or walnuts would also be delicious!
• Use a high-quality, flavorful honey. Since this recipe only requires 3 ingredients, you want those ingredients to be flavorful and the best.
• This appetizer is best served while it’s still warm, so prepare it just before you’re ready to enjoy! But don’t worry — the brie will still be tasty at room temperature, so there’s no harm in leaving it out during your party.
