Who says entertaining needs to be time-consuming? With only three ingredients, this sweet baked Brie with strawberry preserves is a low-effort, high-reward combo. The chili crisp adds the perfect kick of heat. Bake until melted for a soft gooey texture, then spread on a toasted baguette slice. Dip and repeat.
Chili Crisp & Strawberry Baked Brie
Ingredients
Instructions
- Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to catch any potential spillage from the cheese.
- Score your Brie by making parallel cuts 1⁄2 inch apart across the top of the rind, not cutting too deep into the cheese. Turn the cheese 90 degrees and do the same thing to make perpendicular cuts.
- Place the Brie in a baking dish, preferably a round one just large enough to fit the Brie (a 6-inch skillet or dish would work) and place it on the lined baking sheet. Spoon the preserves and chili crisp on top.
- Bake the Brie on the top rack until loose and not hard to the touch when pressed with a spoon, 15 to 20 minutes. Any longer than 20 minutes, it may get hard, tough, and stringy, and won’t be melty.
- Halfway through the Brie baking, slice your baguette into 1⁄2-inch thick rounds. Arrange the baguette slices on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake on the bottom rack until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Let the Brie cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then serve alongside your toasted crostini.Chili Crisp & Strawberry Baked Brie
