Equipment

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

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

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the brie: Unwrap your brie wheel and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
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.
Top the brie: Spoon the jam over the top of the cheese, letting some drip down the sides to create that “bloody” look.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and slightly puffed.
Transfer carefully: Use a spatula to move the baked brie onto a serving dish.
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.
