Equipment

  • 1 small cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

Baked Brie

  • 8 oz wheel of brie
  • 5-6 cloves garlic confit (see instructions below)
  • 2-3 tablespoon orange blossom honey (or honey of choice if orange blossom is not available)
  • 3 tablespoon hazelnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves (additional sprigs for garnish)
  • pinch of flaky sea salt

Garlic Confit

  • 1 head garlic
  • 1.25 cup olive oil

Instructions
 

Garlic Confit

  • Peel garlic cloves without smashing them and place them in a sauce pan with the oil over low heat. Simmer for about 20-30 minutes or until garlic begins to brown slightly. Remove and allow to cool while the brie bakes. Store garlic in its oil in an airtight container at room temp and use garlic infused oil and garlic confit as desired in a variety of recipes.

Baked Brie

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Remove brie from its wrapping, keeping the rind on, and place the entire wheel in a cast iron skillet or oven safe dish.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While brie bakes, toast the hazelnuts over medium to medium-low heat in a dry skillet for about 3-5 minutes for until the aroma is nutty and the hazelnuts begin to brown slightly.
  • Once the brie is done baking, remove from the oven, add 5-6 garlic confit cloves, honey, hazelnuts, thyme and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let the brie sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with crusty bread or crackers.
