Description

This baked brie and roasted garlic recipe offers a simple yet elegant appetizer perfect for any occasion. Garlic is slow roasted with olive oil until golden and buttery soft, paired with warm, melted brie cheese served on toasted baguette rounds for a delicious and comforting bite.

Ingredients

Garlic Roasting

  • 3 Heads of Garlic
  • 6 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (2 teaspoons per garlic head)

Brie and Bread

  • 1 Large Brie Wheel (13-14 ounces)
  • 1 Large Loaf of Baguette Bread

Additional Items

  • Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
  • Parchment Paper
  • Baking Sheets

Instructions

  1. Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Remove loose papery outer layers from each garlic head but leave the tight fitting peel intact. Slice about ¼ inch off the top of each head to expose the cloves. Place each head on a roughly 12-inch square of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil over each head, allowing it to seep into the cloves. Wrap each head tightly in the foil greasing them ready to roast. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 40-50 minutes until the cloves are golden and soft enough to spread like butter.
  2. Prepare the Oven and Bread: After roasting the garlic, remove it from the oven and turn the oven off momentarily to let it cool slightly. Then preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the baguette into ½ inch rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet to ready for toasting.
  3. Bake the Brie: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the brie wheel on it. Bake the brie for 15-20 minutes until the interior is melted and soft, indicated by a slight give when pressed gently.
  4. Toast the Bread: When the brie is almost done, place the baguette slices in the oven for the last 5-6 minutes to lightly toast them to a perfect crispness.
  5. Serve: To serve, spread a clove of the roasted garlic onto a toasted baguette slice and top generously with warm, melted brie. Enjoy this simple yet flavorful appetizer warm.

Notes

  • Roasted garlic is much milder and sweeter than raw or sautéed garlic due to the caramelization process during roasting.
  • You can prepare the garlic ahead of time and keep it refrigerated, then rewarm with the brie before serving.
  • This appetizer pairs wonderfully with dry white wine or sparkling wine for entertaining.
