Ingredients:

• 250 – 500g / 8 – 16 oz round brie (or camembert (good value is fine! Note 1))
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup ((optional))
• 1 thyme sprig ((optional))
• Crostini
• 1 bunch purple grapes ((or green, optional))

Instruction:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all oven types).
2. Unwrap brie and place in a small, shallow ovenproof dish slightly larger than the brie (to be used for serving) OR a piece of crumbled baking / parchment paper (for transference). (Note 2)
3. Oven: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes (for 250g/80z), or until melted through. For 500g/1lb brie, increase to 25 minutes. To check, gently touch the centre of the brie – it should feel very soft, like it is about to collapse if you press any harder.
4. Microwave option: 2 minutes on high (no one will know!) in 30 second increments.
5. Carefully transfer to serving plate / board – it’s delicate (transfer on paper if you used paper).
6. Drizzle with honey, top with sprig of thyme (if using).
7. Serve immediately with crostini on the side for scooping. Provide a knife to cut through the rind and a cheese or pate knife (or similar) to scoop cheese up onto crostini or crackers (plain or fruit/nut flavoured).
