Ingredients

NEW: You can now switch to Cook Mode to keep your screen awake.
Directions
- For the Lavender Honey (Makes 1 cup):
- Heat the honey and lavender flowers in a small saucepan over high heat until boiling, 4 to 5 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool. Once cool, strain the mixture through a sieve, filtering out the lavender flowers.
- For the baked brie:
- Preheat the broiler.
- Slice the baguette diagonally in 1/4-inch-thick slices and place on a broiler pan. Broil until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Chop the garlic, rosemary and thyme and place in a small bowl. Add the oil and lavender honey and stir to combine.
- Put the chilled brie on a sheet pan and score the top with a paring knife, as if you are etching it into slices. This will let the oil and herbs soak into the cracks and give the cheese room to melt and expand.
- Spread the herb and honey mixture and spread across the top of the brie. Season with salt and pepper and bake until it starts to melt, 10 minutes.
- Serve with the toasted baguette slices.
Cook’s Note
For the lavender honey, you can also place the lavender flowers in a spice bag. Save the remaining honey for toast, tea and as a topping for other cheeses. You can also use store-bought lavender honey. A slightly bigger or smaller wheel of brie cheese can also be used.
