Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Prepare the Brie: Place the brie in a baking dish or directly on parchment paper. Lightly score the top to help the flavors penetrate.
Add Toppings: Drizzle honey evenly over the brie. Top with dried fruits, sliced olives, fresh thyme, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Bake: Bake the brie for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is warm and slightly melty. Be cautious not to let it overflow.
Serve: Remove the brie from the oven and serve it hot with slices of toast or crackers for dipping.

Notes

Experiment with different dried fruits (apricots, figs, raisins) and nuts (walnuts, pecans, pistachios) for personalized variations.
If preferred, swap green olives for kalamata olives or sun-dried tomatoes.
Brie can be substituted with camembert for a slight change in flavor.
