Hey, hi! Happy Monday before the 4th of July!!
I’m just stopping in for a super quick post today so I can share this last-minute brie recipe!
I needed to make sure all you procrastinators (mom), had the perfect, and most delicious appetizer. Honestly, is there anything better than melty brie, with sweet fruit, honey, and bread? It’s probably one of my favorite foods. I normally make brie around the holidays, but every once in a while I’ll make some during the summer as well. The first time I did so, I made this grilled brie with blackberry basil smash salsa, which to date is probably one of my favorite appetizer recipes on the site. It is SO good.
BUT, for as much as I love that brie recipe, it was time to create another new yummy summertime brie option. YESSS.
You guys know how much I love the combo of sweet and savory, so clearly this brie is totally my kind of recipe.
Let me break it down for you.
–> grilled brie…if you have yet to try grilling your brie, I highly recommend you do it…right this very minute. No joking, this minute. You need to experience the amazingness that is grilled brie. Just trust me.
–> thyme and honey…with a pinch of flaky sea salt, because sweet and salty is the best combo ever.
–> pan roasted cherries…with butter and bourbon…enough said.
Simply spoon the cherries over the brie, then drizzle it generously with thyme and honey, and serve it up with toasted bread. You could also use crackers, but I’m really just a melty cheese + bread kind of person.
So do you guys now see why you need this grilled brie in your life, like now. Or ok, maybe tomorrow for the 4th of July.
It’s the perfect, easy, last-minute appetizer that everyone will love.
Pro tip: if you’re serving more than two or three people I’d double the recipe. This is always the first thing to go at the appetizer table. Always.
OkOK. So now that I’ve convinced you to make this brie tomorrow, I’m headed out! By the time you read this I will hopefully have made it to Mexico. I will be there with my family until the 6th. Not sure what our plans are for the 4th, but one thing is for sure, there’ll be plenty of time in the sun, mucho fresh fruit eating, shoveling in of tacos, and if I can find it, yes, I will totally be making this brie. I know I’ll be in Mexico, but let’s be real, brie is good no matter where in the world you are! <– truth.

Cherries and brie – what a great combo!!! Can’t wait to make this!
I hope you love it Deborah!! Thank you!
Oh this looks like my kind of an appetizer! Sweet & savory and delicious! 🙂
Yes yes yes! I hope you love this Julia!
what happen if i add sugar? coz i think its not enough sweet..
but overall, i like you recipe
Sure, go ahead and add some sugar. I think it’s pretty sweet, but use sugar to your taste.
These dishes are very tasty, easy to make and long preserved in the refrigerator. My husband and I like it.
We eat often. I hope you can introduce more on the page for me to learn.
I am thrilled you like this recipe, thank you!
I love baked Bries and Camemberts, but not with cooked cherries, no. I usually add rosemary to mine and sundried tomatoes or dry cranberries, or even some walnuts.

Oh well, those all sound delicious with it as well!
Hi, whenever your recipes calls for cherries – are those black/sweet cherries or sour cherries?
Thanks
I like to you black/sweet (bing) cherries. Let me know if you have questions. Sorry if that was confusing. Hope you love the pie! 🙂
Delicious AND so pretty Tieghan! Love those cherries on top! And the bourbon won’t be optional here!
Haha thank you! And yes the bourbon most definitely should be in there (:
Could you use frozen cherries (it’s winter here in NZ)
Yes, frozen cherries will be great! Let me know if you have questions. Hope you love the pie!
Happy 4th of July Tieghan!

Ya I love it!! Happy fourth and thanks Rebecca!
Looks wonderfully delicious! Love the combination! I’m wondering if I’m the only one who bypasses the rind and just scoops out the insides 🙂
Haha! I’ll eat the rind…but the middle is what I go for first. YUMMM! 🙂
Thanks Kelly!
