Cuisine: French
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 wheel of Brie cheese
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Crackers for serving
Instructions
- Remove the Brie cheese from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature, which helps it melt more evenly.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot inner pot, and place the trivet inside.
- Carefully remove any plastic packaging from the Brie wheel and place it on a piece of parchment paper that fits inside the Instant Pot.
- Drizzle the honey evenly over the top of the Brie cheese, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle the chopped walnuts and fresh rosemary over the honey-coated Brie.
- Gently transfer the Brie on the parchment paper to the trivet in the Instant Pot.
- Close the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to sealing, and select the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" setting.
- Cook on high pressure for 3-4 minutes, depending on the size and firmness of the Brie wheel.
- Once cooking is complete, perform a quick release of the pressure.
- Carefully remove the Brie using the parchment paper, transferring it to a serving plate.
- Let the Brie rest for 2-3 minutes to allow it to slightly cool and set.
- Serve immediately with crackers, allowing guests to scoop the warm, melted cheese.
Tips
- Always let your Brie sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even melting.
- Use high-quality, fresh ingredients - especially the honey and rosemary.
- Don't overcook! 3-4 minutes is the sweet spot to achieve that perfect molten texture.
- Parchment paper is your best friend for easy transfer and cleanup.
- Serve immediately for the most luxurious, oozy cheese experience.
- Experiment with different nut and herb combinations to personalize your dish.
- Choose a Brie wheel that fits comfortably inside your Instant Pot's inner pot.
