Notes

Tips and Tricks for Success

Since this recipe only uses three ingredients, you want to give your brie a little extra attention. Triple cream brie has a rich, gooey texture and should have a light, mild, milky smell. Avoid brie that's too hard when pressed or smells like ammonia.
Let the brie sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking to help it melt more evenly.
Use a sharp knife to cut just the top rind off the wheel of cheese. Leaving the bottom and sides will help hold its shape as it warms.
Whether you're using the broiler or a handheld torch to caramelize the honey, watch it closely! In just a matter of seconds, the honey can go from perfectly caramelized to burnt.
