Perfect for its ease, deliciousness, and impressive presentation, Baked Brie with Honeyed Cherries and Toasted Pecans will be a hit at your next party.
Summer’s warm weather and longer days make it a great season for spontaneous entertaining.
Last minute gatherings depend on quick and easy recipes, and this Baked Brie with Honeyed Cherries and Toasted Pecans is perfect for its ease, deliciousness, and impressive presentation. It’s simple to prepare yet decidedly elegant.
Brie’s edible rind keeps the warm, oozy cheese contained as it bakes, and the cherry topping, which simmers and thickens on the stove, is ready just as the brie comes out of the oven
Tossed with honey and a splash of balsamic vinegar, the cherries add sweet, tart flavor to the creamy, oven-warm brie, and a handful of toasted pecans rounds out the flavors with nutty goodness. Spread on thin slices of baguette, this tantalizing combination won’t last long at any party. Happy summer!
Baked Brie with Honeyed Cherries & Toasted Pecans
Ingredients
- 1 small round of brie (13.4 ounces)
- 1 generous cup fresh cherries pitted and halved
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 cup pecans toasted and coarsely chopped
- 1 baguette thinly sliced (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F. Unwrap brie and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 14 minutes.
- While the brie bakes, combine cherries, honey, balsamic vinegar, and salt in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the juices are slightly thickened, about 12 minutes.
- Transfer brie to a serving platter and top with cherry mixture. Sprinkle pecans over the top and serve warm with baguette slices.

PIN BAKED BRIE WITH HONEYED CHERRIES & TOASTED PECANS:
This looks great. I usually do brie at fall parties, so I will probably be making it with frozen cherries. I bet it will work just fine, since it’s gonna be all cooked up anyway. Thanks for posting. I’m pinning for future reference.
Thanks, Sophia! I agree that this would work well with frozen cherries. The bonus, too, is that frozen cherries are usually pitted! Let me know how it turns out for you.
I made it with frozen cherries. Obviously I had to cook it longer, but it turned out well. Guests thought it looked fancy, and it tasted great. Thanks for posting.
Glad to hear that it turned out well! Thanks for for sharing, Sophie. Best to you!
I really want to try this recipe. We picked tons of cherries this year and I’m always looking for recipes to use them. What could I use instead of honey to sweeten the cherry mix?
I haven’t tried it, but I bet maple syrup would make a great substitution. Good luck!
