Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place brie round on an ovenproof serving dish. I like to lay parchment paper down on a baking sheet.

Slice the top of the brie round off, cutting inward to make a bowl. Remove the “lid.”

Fill the bowl with the lemon curd and 1/2 cup of pistachios. Sprinkle with 1/2 the finely chopped fresh thyme. Place the lid on top, pushing down. (It’s okay if a little bit falls to the side). Drizzle with honey (optional). Sprinkle with the remaining pistachios and chopped thyme.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese inside the rind is melted and bubbly.

Serve hot with your favorite crackers or baguette bread slices.
