Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Brie cheese wheel 8 oz
  • 3 Tablespoons red pepper jam or any red pepper jelly
  • 2 –3 Tablespoons hot water to thin the jam slightly
  • Flaky salt optional for garnish
  • 1 Baguette warmed and sliced

Equipment

  • Baking sheet or oven-safe dish
  • Parchment paper
  • Small bowl
  •  Spoon or spatula
  • Serving plate

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the brie: Unwrap your brie wheel and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Warm the jam: In a small bowl, mix the red pepper jam with 2 tablespoons of hot water until smooth. If it’s still thick, add another tablespoon of water.
  4. Top the brie: Spoon the jam over the top of the cheese, letting some drip down the sides to create that “bloody” look.
  5. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and slightly puffed.
  6. Transfer carefully: Use a spatula to move the baked brie onto a serving dish.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle flaky salt on top (optional). Serve immediately with warm baguette slices for dipping.
My tip: Don’t overbake it—if the brie gets too hot, it may burst open and lose that perfect cheese pull!

    Notes

    • Keep an eye on the brie during baking—soft and gooey is perfect, melted all over the pan is not.
    • Red pepper jam gives that spooky Halloween color—avoid using jelly that’s too dark or it won’t stand out.
    • Serve immediately for the best cheese texture.
