Measuring cups (metric or US)*

Ingredients

1 lb round brie cheese or camembert; see notes
¼ cup liquid honey or solid honey microwaved to make it liquid
½ cup mixed nuts and seeds chopped; hazelnuts, almonds and pumpkin seeds are great options
½ cup dried fruit and/or berries apricots, cranberries, blueberries are good options
1 teaspoon salt flakes slightly crushed

Instructions

Place the cheese on a piece of aluminum foil (or use a silicone liner of appropriate size). Make sure the piece of foil is a bit larger than the air fryer basket. Using a pairing knife, score a criss-cross pattern on the top of the brie. You want to cut just through the outer layer. Be careful not to cut into the sides of the cheese, as this can make the cheese "leak" when baking.
1 lb round brie cheese
Place the cheese on the aluminum foil in the air fryer basket. Fold up the sides of the foil so it fits.
Pour over half the honey, followed by chopped nuts and berries. Then add the rest of the honey before finishing with the sea salt flakes.
¼ cup liquid honey, ½ cup mixed nuts and seeds, ½ cup dried fruit and/or berries, 1 teaspoon salt flakes
Bake 5-10 minutes at 350 °F until the cheese is soft to the touch. Carefully lift the foil with the cheese on it out of the air fryer basket.
Serve with a side of bread or crackers. Cut into the cheese, and dip bread and crackers in the melted cheese.

Notes

A Note on Brie

You want a nice wheel of brie for this recipe, since it needs to be intact on all sides. This means you can't use a wedge of brie.

You can however choose whatever size you like for your wheel of brie. And if you can't find one small enough, you can often find smaller camemberts - and this will work just as well!

Some bries are softer and others are harder. This means they will be done in different amounts of time. Poke it gently to check if it's done - if it is it should feel soft when poked.

What to Do with Leftovers

Baked brie is best eaten straight away. If you have leftovers you can however store them as well, and reheat to enjoy the cheesy goodness another day.

Storing: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Freezing: I do not recommend freezing leftovers.

Reheating in microwave: Reheat leftovers in the microwave in 30-second increments, until nice and melted again.

Reheating in the air fryer: I do not recommend reheating in your air fryer unless you have an air fryer safe dish or container. The cheese will melt and without the rind to keep it together it will quickly spread.
