Classic Baked Brie Cheese
Some recipes never get old, like a classic baked brie. Every holiday season I fall head over heels (again) for this oozing hot liquified cheese appetizer. Baked brie can be prepared in many different ways. Some like it cut and baked on toast, or a whole wheel of brie wrapped in puffed pastry is another common rendition. However, a naked baked brie topped with boozy sticky sweet cashews is a personal favorite I like to surprise my holiday guests with each year. You can bake a whole wheel of brie without additional ingredients necessary, by simply severing the top rind all the way around the edges. The bottom and sides hold the brie, like its own little built-in serving dish, while the top piece acts as a lid while baking. Then gently lift the lid off and you have hot spreadable brie that is great on bread, crackers, or even with veggies!
Best Baked Brie Pan
I like to bake the brie on a Swiss Diamond Nonstick Crepe Pan for several reasons. While the brie is in the oven, whip up an easy topping of Cashews with Brown Sugar Bourbon Glaze (AKA bourbon caramel) to spoon over the top. This heavenly appetizer is always a welcomed addition to any party. In fact, it’s nearly always the first thing to disappear! No one can resist Baked Brie with Cashews and Bourbon Brown Sugar Glaze. I dare you to try…

Then there is the star of the show, a Brie cheese wheel with a french baguette to complete the whole appetizer.
How to Make this Baked Brie Cheese with Bourbon Glaze
You’ll be amazed at how easily the pan washes clean. Even with caramel in it! While the Baked Brie with Cashews and Bourbon Brown Sugar Glaze is hot and runny, place fresh baguette slices around the brie and serve it straight off the crepe pan, so it stays warm longer.
Do I have to use the crepe pan to make this?
You can use a skillet or shallow baking dish instead of a crepe pan for the brie. However, I like the shape of the crepe pan for this recipe and the handle for moving it in and out of the oven.
How long will this recipe last?
Brie cheese is a soft cheese, which shortens its shelf life, especially after it has been opened. If you don’t add the glaze over the whole top of the cheese, it can last up to 2 weeks in the fridge in an airtight container. If there is a glaze on it, then it will last in a sealed container for 2 to 4 days.
