Raspberry Champagne Jelly Recipe
Ingredients (serves 4-6)
- 1 wheel of brie cheese (200-300g)
- 2-3 tbsp honey (adjust to taste)
- 1-2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (optional for a wrapped version)
- A handful of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Brie
Unwrap the brie and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you want to elevate the presentation, you can use a small oven-safe dish. Brie becomes creamy when baked, so placing it in a dish helps contain that molten goodness. 😋
For a wrapped version, roll out your puff pastry and place the brie in the center. Wrap it tightly, sealing the edges with a bit of water.
- 2. Add the Toppings
Drizzle honey generously over the top of the brie. Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly across the surface. The honey adds sweetness while the nuts give a crunchy texture. Add salt and pepper for balance.
Place the rosemary sprigs on top of or around the brie. As the rosemary bakes, its earthy aroma will infuse into the cheese and honey, creating a harmonious flavor blend.
3. Bake the Brie
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the brie for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is warm and gooey inside. If you’re using puff pastry, bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-baking. The honey caramelizes beautifully during this process, giving the dish a delicious glaze.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Remove the baked brie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the cheese to set slightly, making it easier to serve without losing too much of that melted center.
Drizzle a little extra honey on top if desired, and serve with sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh fruit like figs and apples. The contrast between the creamy brie, sweet honey, and aromatic rosemary will have your guests raving! ✨
Food Pairing Recommendations
- Sliced baguette or crackers: A classic pairing that complements the creamy cheese perfectly.
- Fresh fruits: Figs, apples, and grapes add a refreshing sweetness to balance the richness of the brie.
- Nuts: Walnuts or almonds provide a delightful crunch and contrast in texture.
- Champagne or wine: Sparkling wine or white wine pairs beautifully with the flavors of the baked brie.
- Olives and salad: A light, savory side that adds a refreshing touch to your meal.
🔖 Tips!
- If you prefer a more savory flavor, drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze over the brie after baking.
- Want a hint of spice? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey for a sweet and spicy twist.
- Leftover baked brie? Use it as a spread for sandwiches the next day!
Whether you’re entertaining guests or treating yourself, this Rosemary Honey Baked Brie is sure to impress with its perfect balance of flavors and textures. 🧡
Plating & Presentation Tips
Because we eat with our eyes first—make it beautiful and unforgettable! ✨
1. Elegant Platter Setup 🍽️
Place the baked brie on a large serving board or platter. Arrange sliced baguette, crackers, and fruits (like grapes and apple slices) around the brie in a circular or symmetrical pattern. Add small bowls of honey, jam, or chutney for dipping.
2. Add Color and Texture 🌿🍇
For a visually appealing presentation, incorporate a mix of colors and textures. Scatter fresh rosemary sprigs for a rustic, aromatic touch. Vibrant fruits like figs or berries can brighten up the platter and create a sophisticated look.
3. Personal Touch with Garnishes 🌰🍯
Drizzle extra honey over the brie just before serving to give it a glossy finish. Sprinkle some chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans) on top for added crunch and elegance. If you want a bolder presentation, sprinkle edible flowers for a unique, eye-catching element.
4. Serve with Style 🥂
Pair the dish with elegant glassware filled with sparkling wine, champagne, or a chilled white wine. Use decorative napkins or small serving forks to add a polished feel to the overall presentation.
