Steps

1Prep tray
2Preheat your oven to 350℉. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper, making sure the paper extends beyond the brie on all sides.
3Add cheese
4Remove 1 wheel of brie (8 ounces) from its packaging and place it on the parchment paper. Keep the brie cold from the refrigerator.
5Cut cheese
6If desired, use a sharp knife to make shallow crosshatch cuts across the top rind, spacing cuts about ½ inch apart and cutting through just the rind layer.
7Add preserves
8Spoon ⅓ cup (approximately 5 tablespoons) of fruit preserves onto the top of the brie, spreading evenly with the back of a spoon.
9Add nuts
10Sprinkle ¼ cup of chopped nuts evenly over the preserves layer.
11Bake
12Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and just starting to ooze at the edges. The wheel should still hold its shape.
13Rest
14Remove from oven and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
15Add honey and herbs
16If using, drizzle 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup over the top. Add fresh herb sprig or berries for garnish if desired.
17Serve
18Use the parchment paper to transfer the brie to a serving platter. Surround with sliced baguette, crackers, and fresh fruit slices. And serve immediately while warm.
