Ingredients

1 13.2 oz brie round
1 tablespoon brown sugar
6 ounces blackberries
6 ounces blueberries
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Extra rosemary for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Line a baking dish with parchment paper and place the whole brie wheel on top. Do not cut the top off, as the brie needs to hold its shape. Set aside the baking dish.
Step 3: In a small baking dish or pie dish, combine the blackberries and blueberries. Sprinkle with brown sugar, drizzle with coconut oil, add the finely chopped rosemary, and gently mix to coat all the berries evenly.
Step 4: Place both the brie and the berry mixture into the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the brie is soft and the berries are starting to burst.
Step 5: Carefully remove both dishes from the oven. Transfer the baked brie to a serving plate. Spoon the warm, bubbly berry mixture over the top of the brie.
Step 6: Garnish with extra fresh rosemary and serve immediately with crackers, sliced apples, warm bread, or banana chips.

Tips & Variations

Substitute coconut oil with olive oil or melted butter for a different flavor profile.
Try mixed fresh herbs like thyme or sage instead of rosemary for a unique twist.
For a touch of spice, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the berries before baking.
Serve with a variety of dippers like toasted baguette slices or pretzels to suit your taste.

Storage

Store leftover baked brie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a low oven (about 300°F) until warmed through, or serve cold if preferred. Note that the texture may change after reheating, becoming firmer.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen berries for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen berries. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before mixing them with the sugar and oil to avoid a soggy topping.

Is it necessary to keep the brie whole without cutting the top?

Yes, leaving the brie whole helps it retain its shape and allows it to melt evenly inside its rind, creating a creamy texture perfect for serving.

3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
Extra rosemary for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brie and berry mixture.
Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a baking dish with parchment paper and place the whole brie round on top. Ensure not to cut the top off the brie so it retains its shape while baking. Set aside the baking dish with the brie.

Serve: Serve the baked brie immediately with accompaniments like crackers, sliced apples, fresh warm bread, or banana chips for a delicious appetizer experience.

Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor, both in the berry mixture and as a garnish.
Serve immediately after baking for optimal gooey texture and flavor.
