Ingredients
· 1 brie wheel (250g) – use a round, double-cream brie; wooden box optional
· 1 tablespoon honey – for a touch of sweetness and shine
Optional for Serving:
· Crackers or toasted baguette slices
· Apple slices or grapes
· Chopped nuts or dried cranberries
· Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
1. Remove the plastic packaging but keep the wooden box if it came in one. If the wooden box isn’t oven-safe, wrap the brie in parchment paper instead. Place the brie (with rind on) in a parchment-lined air fryer basket or tray.
2. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the brie inside and air fry for 7 minutes, or until the center feels soft and gooey when gently pressed.
3. Carefully transfer the hot brie to a serving plate. Drizzle the honey over the top while it’s still warm so it seeps into the gooey center.
4. Serve with crackers, sliced fruit, or on a larger cheese board as a show-stopping centerpiece. Enjoy the warm, melty goodness right away for the best texture.

Tips & Customizations
Add Fruit Preserves: Swap honey for fig jam, cranberry sauce, or apricot preserves.
Savory Twist: Add rosemary, garlic, or thyme before baking for a herbaceous touch.
Stuff It: Slice the brie horizontally and stuff it with caramelized onions or chopped nuts before baking.
No Honey? Try maple syrup or agave for a vegan-friendly alternative.
Use Camembert: Air fryer brie camembert variations work just as well with this method.
For low-carb air fryer brie, skip crackers and serve with celery or keto almond flour crackers.
