Baked Brie with Honey and Almonds

Ingredients:

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking.
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cheese from sticking and make cleanup easier.
Place the Brie: Center the wheel of Brie on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure it's placed cut side up to maximize the melting effect.
Mix Toppings: In a small mixing bowl, combine the sliced almonds, honey, fresh rosemary (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all the almonds are coated with honey and the flavors are blended.
Top the Brie: Spoon the almond and honey mixture generously over the top of the Brie. Make sure to cover the surface well to enhance the flavor.
Bake the Brie: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, keeping a close watch on it. The Brie should be soft and gooey but not completely melted. Remove it when it's bubbly and golden on top.
Cool Slightly: After baking, take the Brie out of the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. This will help it set slightly, making it easier to serve.
Serve: Present the warm baked Brie on a serving platter. Pair it with fresh fruit like apples or pears, and a variety of crackers. Guests can scoop out the cheese with fruit or crackers for a delightful bite.

You can also add dried fruits like cranberries or apricots for extra flavor. Feel free to experiment with different nuts and herbs as well!
