Seared Brie with Hot Honey

This recipe is inspired by a brie my aunt made that changed the trajectory of my life. She also gave me this cute lil cast iron!

Ingredients

• Wheel of brie

• 1/4 c. honey

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp cayenne

• 1/2 tsp chili powder

• 1 tsp chili flakes (omit if you don’t like spice)

• Toasted nuts

• Pinch of salt and pepper to taste

Process

Preheat your oven to 350.

Start with your hot honey. Mix your honey and spices, and add a bit of salt and pepper to taste. If you like things spicier, add more! To make it more pourable, microwave for 10 seconds.

Dry toast some nuts or seeds (any type, I like pepitas) in a hot pan on the stove. You can skip this step if you’re pressed for time, but damn- you’ll be a bit sad you did.

Now, for the brie- cut in a cross-hatch pattern on both sides, and put half of the honey on top. Heat up a cast iron pan to medium-high.

Put the brie in the pan honey side down, and sear for 3-5 minutes. It’ll develop a little color. Top with the toasted nuts and then pour the remaining honey on top. Take it off the heat and put it directly in the oven for 10 minutes. It’ll come out gooey and bubbling and actually irresistible.

Serve with a sliced baguette, some good crackers, or eat with a spoon like the mega weirdo you are deep down.

Enjoy, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
