CuisineFrench

1 wheel of brie (8 oz)
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup cranberry sauce or fig jam
1 baguette, sliced and toasted

2 Instructions

Preheat the air fryer

Preheat air fryer to 180°C (350°F).

Prepare the brie

Place the brie wheel on a piece of parchment paper cut to fit the air fryer basket. Score the top rind in a crosshatch pattern.

Air fry

Place the brie in the basket. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the cheese is soft and bubbling.

Garnish and serve

Carefully transfer to a serving platter. Top with pecans, a drizzle of honey, and cranberry sauce. Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices.

Pro Tips

Do not remove the rind; it keeps the melted brie contained.
Keep a close eye on it—cooking times vary slightly depending on the size of the wheel.
