Melted Brie Cheese Delight: An Easy Air Fryer Recipe
How to Enjoy Brie Cheese! Making Baked Brie with an Air Fryer
This baked Brie cheese recipe using an air fryer is a perfect appetizer to enjoy with wine. It’s incredibly simple and results in a wonderfully gooey and flavorful dish.
Ingredients- Brie cheese, 1 wedge (approx. 60g)
- 1 packet of mixed nuts (e.g., “Haru Kengwa” brand)
- Honey, 2-3 Tbsp
- Frozen blueberries, 10 berries
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, line your air fryer basket with parchment paper. Slice the Brie cheese into wedges, similar to cutting a cake, and place them on the parchment paper. Leave a little space between the cheese pieces to prevent them from sticking together as they melt.
Step 2
Using chopsticks or a skewer, poke several holes into the surface of the Brie cheese. This step is crucial as it allows the honey drizzled on top to seep into the cheese, enhancing its flavor and creating a richer taste.
Step 3
Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of honey lightly over the pierced Brie cheese. Avoid adding too much honey at this stage, as it can overflow while baking. A light coating is sufficient for now.
Step 4
Sprinkle the entire packet of mixed nuts evenly over the Brie cheese. The nutty crunchiness complements the creamy cheese, adding a wonderful textural contrast and depth of flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the prepared Brie cheese inside and bake for approximately 5 to 7 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, and the nuts are fragrant. Be careful not to overbake, as this can make the cheese tough.
Step 6
Carefully remove the baked Brie cheese from the air fryer. While it’s still warm, drizzle the remaining 1-2 tablespoons of honey over the top, adjusting to your sweetness preference. The warm cheese will slightly melt the honey, making it even more enticing.
Step 7
Finally, artfully arrange the 10 frozen blueberries on top of the warm, honey-drizzled Brie. This adds a touch of tartness and a beautiful visual appeal. Your delicious baked Brie cheese, with its perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, is now ready to be enjoyed immediately!
