You’ve Had Baked Brie, But Have You Had It With Nectarines & Chicory?
If your brie isn’t packaged in a box, wrap it in a little baking paper before placing in the oven. Baby cos is a great alternative to chicory if you can find any. Crackers or crostini are another good backup.
BAKED BRIE WITH NECTARINES AND CHICORY RECIPE
Serves 6
125g French brie, at room temperature
1 Tbsp thyme leaves
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 chicory, leaves separated
2 nectarines, diced or sliced
Squeeze of lemon
½ cup toasted walnuts
Honey, to drizzle
- Preheat oven to 170C.
- Open the brie but leave in its box. Cut a 2cm cross in the middle and sprinkle over the thyme and garlic.
- Prepare the chicory, give the nectarines a squeeze of lemon juice and toast the walnuts before baking the brie, so it is ready to serve.
- Place the brie in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until soft and gooey. Serve while warm with a drizzle of honey and extra thyme leaves.
