How adorable is this heart-shaped baked brie. This recipe is brie baked in crusty bread with garlic butter and honey. It’s cheesy, ooey and gooey, and it’s perfect for parties and hosting. Let me show you how to make it!

There are 3 main components to this dish: The brie, garlic butter and toppings.

1. The brie: to make this cute heart shape, you will need an oval shaped brie. I know this is not very common to find outside of Australia, but you can always cut up the round brie into a heart shape!
2. Garlic butter: it’s essentially, butter, garlic, parsley and chilli flakes. You can adjust the ingredients for a different flavour profile if you desire.
3. Toppings: i’m going with the classic cheese board items! Bread, grapes, green apples and walnuts! But of course, adjust to your liking.

Ingredients

1 block of brie (preferrably oval shaped)
1 round crusty bread
3-4 tbsp butter, softened
2 garlic cloves, minced
parsley, minced
chilli flakes, adjust to taste
honey

Dippers:
Bread
Apples, sliced
Grapes
Walnuts

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
2. To make the heart shaped brie, cut your oval-shaped brie in half diagonally. Then flip one half to create a heart shape. If you can’t find oval-shaped brie at your supermarket, you can alway carve out the heart shape with a traditional round brie.
3. Prepare your garlic butter by combining the butter, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper together. Set aside
4. Place the brie over your loaf of bread as a guide and trace the heart shape with a knife. Set the brie aside and carve out the heart shape from your loaf of bread.
5. Spread the garlic butter on the inside of the carved section of your bread. Then insert the brie into the buttered hole you’ve created. Scored the top of your brie and spread on more garlic butter.
6. Bake for 15 minutes. Serve with a range of different dippers.
