Garlic Baked Brie: The Ultimate Easy Appetizer!

Garlic Baked Brie is the ultimate easy appetizer! Creamy, melty brie is topped with slices of fragrant garlic, drizzled with olive oil, and baked to golden, gooey perfection. It’s effortless, elegant, and guaranteed to wow your guests—perfect for holidays, parties, or cozy nights at home.

  • Total Time: 20–25 minutes
  • Yield: 4–6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 whole wheel of brie (about 8 oz)

  • 2–3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)

  • Fresh cracked black pepper

  • Honey (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Place the brie in a small baking dish lined with parchment paper (optional, for easy cleanup).

  • Scatter the sliced garlic evenly over the top of the brie.

  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs and cracked black pepper.

  • Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the brie is soft, melty, and slightly puffed.

 

  • Serve immediately with your favorite bread, crackers, or fruit!

Notes

 

  • Keep the rind on the brie—it holds everything together beautifully!

  • For a sweeter twist, drizzle the baked brie with honey or fig jam just before serving.

  • Want to get fancy? Add toasted nuts, crushed red pepper flakes, or even a few slices of roasted garlic instead of raw.

  • Brie is best served right out of the oven while it’s warm and gooey!
