How to Make the Baked Brie with Honey & Cashews
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the wheel of brie in a small oven-safe dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the brie is soft to the touch and just beginning to ooze in the center (be careful not to overbake).
- Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with honey.
- Sprinkle generously with crushed cashews and a few thyme leaves.
- Serve warm — this is best enjoyed right away while the center is luxuriously melty.
Assembling Your Whimsical Charcuterie Board
- Place the baked brie near the center of your board, with the blueberry goat cheese slightly off to one side.
- Gently fold or roll prosciutto into loose ribbons and arrange salami in small stacks or overlapping rows.
- Place Granny Smith apples, tuck blackberries into open spaces, and scatter fig crackers nearby for easy pairing.
- Use small bowls for olives and jam, then sprinkle toasted cashews throughout for texture.
- Tuck sprigs of rosemary and thyme around the board, and scatter edible chamomile flowers for a soft, magical touch.
