Method
Score the top rind of the brie1 lightly in a crisscross pattern.
Drizzle the cheese with honey and sprinkle with chopped walnuts3 and thyme leaves.
Place the brie1 on a small sheet of parchment and cook in the air fryer at 180 °C for 6–8 minutes, until soft inside.
Toast5 the sandwich bread in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes until lightly crisp.
Tips
- Why it works
- Shallow cuts in the rind let the honey reach closer to the soft inside, and at 180 °C the cheese warms through in 6–8 minutes without leaking.
- Substitutions
- Swap the 15 g of walnuts for almonds or hazelnuts of the same weight. Instead of fresh thyme, use a pinch of dried.
- Common mistakes
- Brie is most often overcooked. The rind splits, the cheese runs onto the parchment and smells stronger than usual after just 8 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat it fresh, as the texture gets firmer after the fridge. Keep leftovers for 1 day and reheat for 1–2 minutes at 160 °C.
- Serve with
- Serve as a warm appetizer with toast for a small dinner, or on a cheese board.
