Baked brie topped with heaping spoonful of local honey and sprigs of fresh thyme. This baked honey thyme brie is the perfect appetizer or snack for spring gatherings.
It’s spring break!
I’ve never been soo excited for a little time off.
I feel I need the extra time to reorganize everything. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been so disorganized. I would get deliveries or birthday presents, open up everything, and leave boxes and wrapping all over the living room floor. So it’s kind of time to get organized and do a little spring cleaning.
Any tips and tricks for getting the house organized? I need all the help I can get!
With spring slowly arriving, it’s the perfect time for little gatherings. Like tea parties, baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays. I’ll take any excuse to hang out with friends. I’ve been a little antisocial lately, and I totally need to get out of my little shell. Small gatherings would be perfect for that.
Even though it’s been officially spring for a couple weeks now, it’s just starting to feel like it in the SF Bay Area. Some days it’s nice and warm. Other days… Not so much. So I’m thinking, indoor gatherings for now. At least, until the weather is a little more predictable.
So today, I’m sharing with you this baked honey thyme brie. It’s so buttery and soft, and so delicious topped with honey and thyme. Paired with crackers, it’s the perfect appetizer or afternoon snack.
There’s a couple things you need to know about brie though. The flavor and texture of brie changes over time. When the brie is young (about 20+ days before the sell by date), the interior is firm with a mild flavor. As it ages, the brie becomes creamier and richer in flavor, especially around the sell by date.
This baked brie requires just a few ingredients. A wheel of brie, honey, sprigs of fresh thyme, and crackers or bread for serving. All that melted goodness on a cracker. Sooo good.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper. I like to line my baking sheet with parchment paper since sometimes the honey drips down the side of the brie. Honey caked onto the baking sheet is not fun to clean. So much easier when you can just remove the parchment paper.
Cut the rind from the top of the wheel of the brie.
Drizzle honey over the top. I personally love honey on brie so the more the better for me.
Top with sprigs of fresh thyme. You can also strip the leaves from the stem and sprinkle the leaves on top.
Bake the brie in the oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese has completely melted.
Serve the baked honey thyme brie warm with crackers or bread.
The brie is best eaten immediately but can be reheated and served later.
Enjoy!

Looks divine ! As for tips on organizing the house I say start with the “fun stuff” for example today I organized my skincare makeup beauty area… which led to organizing desk, mailing taxes, folding laundry…. then I gave up and made lunch and blogged about it🙃 But at least I organized a little bit first ! Good luck
Great tip, Deven! I’ll have to give it a try. I always start, and then I lose interest…
That sounds so delicious and easy for a get together! I’ll have to try this sometime!
I hope you’ll like it, Maggie!
Oh my goodness, this sounds so delicious.
This will definitely be on my menu for the upcoming weekend.
Thank you so very much for sharing.
I hope you’ll like it, Lisa!
Andrea, you present art on a plate! Beautifully done. 🌷🌷🌷
Thank you!
I served it for a gathering at my home over the weekend and they loved it! 🌿
I’m so glad you and your guests enjoyed it!
OK, totally saving this one. I usually do the brie wheel wrapped in crescent roll dough with jam, but I like this cheese-only+honey method better. Local honey and fresh thyme – delicious! Thanks!
Oh my god. I need to try the crescent roll dough with jam version. It sounds so good.
Great post with amazing photography!
Your food looks amazing as always 🙂 I was planning to make something similar. It’s so yummy! This is a great combination of flavors! 🙂
Thank you so much, V.
Droo…licious!
Thank you.
Oh my gosh that looks great! I think I’m going to start hanging out on your front porch. You’ll feel sorry for me and feed me!
Thank you.
