1 (16 oz) wheel Brie cheese
02 -
6 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
03 -
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
04 -
2 tablespoons honey
→ Toppings
05 -
2 tablespoons honey
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Unroll thawed phyllo sheets and cover with a lightly damp towel to prevent drying.
02 -
Lay one phyllo sheet on a work surface and brush generously with melted butter. Repeat layering and buttering with remaining sheets, slightly angling each layer to build flakiness.

Place the Brie cheese wheel in the center of the layered phyllo. Drizzle 2 tablespoons honey over the Brie. Carefully fold and pleat phyllo edges around cheese to form a sealed parcel. Brush entire exterior with melted butter.

Transfer parcel seam-side up onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until phyllo is crisp and golden brown.

Allow baked Brie to rest 5 to 10 minutes to set. Transfer to serving platter and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons honey before serving with crackers or fruit.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Keep phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Work quickly when layering sheets.
02 -
Let baked Brie rest before slicing to maintain a smooth molten center.
03 -
Use parchment paper under the parcel to catch any drips and facilitate cleanup.
