What do you need to make baked brie?
- Strawberries – Fresh strawberries are ideal for this recipe but you could substitute frozen strawberries instead. If using frozen strawberries, there is no need to thaw them before roasting.
- Olive oil – Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Honey – The honey could be substituted with maple syrup but it will change the flavors slightly.
- Balsamic vinegar – While ordinary balsamic vinegar was used in this recipe, white balsamic vinegar can also be used, and will help the strawberries retain their vibrant color.
- Brie – Use an entire whole wheel of brie.
- Pistachios – Chopped pistachios are used to garnish the baked brie, and could be substituted with chopped walnuts or pecans, or omitted all together.
- Thyme leaves – The fresh thyme leaves could be substituted with chopped fresh mint or basil.
The chopped pistachios and fresh thyme are completely optional but are both a great flavor component to the dish. Plus, it makes it look extra stunning when you are serving.
