Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C)
Remove the wheel of Brie from its packaging and place it in a Brie baker or a small oven-safe dish. If you don't have a Brie baker, you can use a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, gently score the top of the Brie in a crisscross pattern.
Drizzle the scored Brie with olive oil.
Sprinkle the pomegranate arils and chopped pecans evenly over the Brie.
Drizzle the honey over the top of the cheese for a touch of spicy sweetness.
Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh rosemary or thyme leaves.
Place the Brie in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the Brie becomes soft and gooey. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. It's best to remove it from the oven just before you think it's done.
Remove the baked Brie from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two. Serve it warm with your choice of crackers or sliced apples or pears.
