Always a winner when you’re entertaining, this also makes a great gift to take to a party. Your host can choose whether to use it that night or pop it in the fridge to be baked in the next three days.

Ingredients:

• Wheel of brie
• Mixed dried fruit (lge fruit like pears)
• Honey
• Thyme
• Honeycomb (optional)

Steps:

1. Place brie in a dish with a bit of room around the sides
2. Score the top in a crisscross fashion
3. Arrange dried fruit around the cheese, and a little on top
4. Top with a sprig of thyme
5. Drizzle brie and fruit with honey
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 180
7. Top with pieces of honeycomb
8. Serve with bread, crackers or crudites for dipping

Chef’s Note:

If you’re giving this as a gift, add the honeycomb in a separate bag and attach to the dish. Write simple baking instructions on a tag:

• Cook for 10-12 minutes at 180
• Top with honeycomb & serve
• (ps: keep in fridge, bake within 3 days!)
