Equipment
1 Air Fryer
1 Small Baking Dish
Ingredients:
8 ounces Brie Cheese
2 tablespoons dried cranberries or cherries
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
1 tablespoon honey or flavored liqueur such as Chambord or Bailey’s Irish Creme
1 small baguette sliced and toasted
Instructions:
Prepare the Brie:
Unwrap the Brie and place it on a small piece of parchment paper that fits inside your air fryer basket. You can leave the rind on — it helps hold the cheese together while melting.
Add the Toppings:
Sprinkle the dried cranberries (or cherries) and sliced almonds evenly over the top. Drizzle with honey or a splash of your chosen liqueur for extra flavor.
Air Fry:
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the Brie (with parchment paper) into the basket.
Air fry for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and melty in the center but still holds its shape.
Prepare the Baguette:
While the Brie cooks, toast your baguette slices in the air fryer or oven until lightly golden and crisp.
Serve:
Remove the Brie carefully and let it rest for 1 minute before serving. Transfer to a serving plate and drizzle with a touch more honey if desired. Serve warm with toasted baguette slices for dipping or spreading.
Notes
Optional Flavors: spiced rum, fig jam, Cointreau, maple syrup, kalua, or berry cranberry sauce.
Optional Toppings: cranberry sauce, roasted mushrooms, drizzle of dark chocolate, tangy brie honey mixture, an artichoke-sundried tomato mixture, caramel sauce, crumbled pistachios.
Cooking Tips: Use a sharp knife to cut away rind on top of cheese so you keep as much cheese on the wheel to enjoy later.
