Ingredients
  

  • 1 wheel of Brie cheese 8-12 oz
  • 1 cup grapes red or green, halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tbsp honey optional
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Crackers, baguette slices, or fresh bread, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Place the grapes on a baking sheet.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Scatter fresh thyme sprigs over the grapes.
  • Roast in the oven for about 10–12 minutes, until the grapes soften and begin to caramelize.
  • While the grapes are roasting, place the Brie cheese on a baking dish or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Score the top of the Brie with a sharp knife, cutting a few shallow slits across the top (this will help the cheese melt evenly).
  • Once the grapes are ready, place the Brie in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and gooey.
  • Once the Brie is melted and the grapes are roasted, remove both from the oven.
  • Drizzle the Brie with honey (if using) for a touch of sweetness.
  • Serve the warm Brie with the roasted grapes, garnished with extra fresh thyme.
  • Enjoy with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh bread.

Notes

  • Make it Sweet or Savoury: For an extra sweet touch, you can drizzle more honey on top of the roasted grapes, add a sprinkle of cinnamon, or finish with a pinch of salt.
  • Pairing Suggestions: This dish pairs wonderfully with a glass of white wine or a light, crisp rosé.
