Ingredients

  • 1 whole wheel of brie cheese (about 8 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh baguette or crackers for dipping

How to Make Melted Cheese Wheel

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the wheel of brie in an oven-safe dish. Use a sharp knife to score the top of the cheese in a crosshatch pattern, making shallow cuts. This helps the cheese melt evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Drizzle the herb and oil mixture over the scored brie, ensuring it seeps into the cuts for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and gooey but not spilling out completely.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute before serving. Serve warm with slices of fresh baguette or your favorite crackers for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use a high-quality brie for the best flavor and texture.
  • Experiment with different herbs based on your preference—basil and chives also work beautifully.
  • For a touch of sweetness, add a drizzle of honey on top before serving.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the brie for camembert for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Incorporate nuts like chopped walnuts or pecans into the herb mixture for added texture.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh vegetable sticks like carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
  • Sliced apples or pears for a sweet contrast.
  • A selection of cured meats for a charcuterie-style platter.
  • Roasted garlic bread for a hearty option.

Storage and Reheating

This melted cheese wheel is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place it back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
