I like that I can have this baked brie prepped in just 5 minutes, so it’s perfect for those last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Wheel of brie cheese
Fresh peach slices
Chopped pecans
Honey
Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving

Directions

I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C).
I place the brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.
I arrange the peach slices on top of the brie and sprinkle over the chopped pecans.
I drizzle honey generously over the top.
I bake for about 15–20 minutes, or until the brie is warm and gooey in the center.
I remove from the oven, garnish with fresh thyme if I’m feeling fancy, and serve immediately with crackers or bread.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves about 6–8 people as an appetizer. Prep time is just 5 minutes, and bake time is 15–20 minutes, so I can have it ready in under 25 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes swap the peaches for nectarines or plums when they’re in season.
For extra crunch, I toast the pecans lightly before adding them.
A drizzle of balsamic glaze instead of honey adds a tangy twist.
I’ve also tried adding a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, spiced note.

storage/reheating

If there are any leftovers (which almost never happens), I wrap the brie in foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, I place it in a 300°F (150°C) oven for about 10 minutes, or until warm and melty again.

FAQs

How do I know when the brie is ready?

I gently press the side with a spoon—if it feels soft and the center jiggles slightly, it’s ready.

Can I use canned peaches?

Yes, but I prefer fresh peaches for the best texture and flavor. If using canned, drain them well before topping the brie.

What’s the best bread to serve with baked brie?

I usually go with sliced baguette, but rustic sourdough or seeded crackers work wonderfully.

Can I make this ahead of time?

I assemble the brie with toppings, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before baking. I just add a couple extra minutes to the bake time.

Can I grill this instead of baking?

Yes, I wrap the assembled brie in foil and place it on indirect heat for about 10–15 minutes until warmed through.

Conclusion

This Easy Peach & Pecan Baked Brie is one of my favorite summer appetizers because it’s quick, gorgeous, and full of flavor. I love that I can serve it with minimal fuss yet still impress guests every time. With the combination of creamy brie, juicy peaches, and crunchy pecans, it’s a recipe I keep coming back to all season long.
