Baked Blackberry Brie

Baked Blackberry Brie

 

I recently grabbed a wheel of brie on my last big grocery haul, having zero clue what I would really end up doing with it. I thought it would be nice to use at some point. It sat in my fridge for a while. I didn’t want to just cut it up and eat it. That seemed too boring.

 

I happened to have some blackberries around and a few day-old homemade buns that I tend to always make too many of (because they are SO good!). I decided to go with a Baked Blackberry Brie with some crispy toast points made from those leftover buns.

Pretty simple, really. Make a blackberry & honey reduction, bake the brie and pour the sweet sauce on top. Voila! I will certainly make this again when I need a quick snack for myself or friends.

 

The blackberry honey sweet reduction really adds a great level to the baked, creamy brie. I could see this going really well with any berry or fruit. I’ll probably try it with fresh Georgia peaches next! Whatever you may have around would probably taste great.

Fresh berries and local honey should be available at your local Farmer’s Market and certainly give this treat a boost. I used local Nashville honey and can certainly taste the depth of flavor when compared to commercially available options. Either way, it will be delicious!

  1. Does anyone know if this recipe can be saved for leftovers? And would you store it in the fridge then and reheat it next day? I love this recipe but got a little carried away and made two wheels!
