1 individual brie (approx 125g-200g)
3 tbsp bread crumbs
2 tbsp fresh herbs
(parsley, rosemary, thyme)
1 clove garlic
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp flaked almonds
Toast the almonds on a metal baking tray under a hot grill until golden brown; set aside.
Meanwhile put the dried bread, herbs, almonds and garlic in a food processor and blitz to a green crumb. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil to bind the crumbs together a little.
Put the brie back in its wooden box (leaving the lid off), or in an ovenproof dish, and prick the skin with the tip of a sharp knife. Lightly season the cheese with freshly milled pepper and liberally scatter the herb crumbs over.
Place the brie in a pre heated moderate oven (180°C/gas mark 7) and bake until the crumbs are golden brown and the cheese is soft and runny in the middle.
Serve with bread sticks or crusty bread hot from the oven, or just serve with teaspoons and let your guests help themselves.
• Chef’s tip: This dish is ideal for sharing and can easily be served for four or six people by using several smaller cheeses or one larger cheese, your local cheese shop or delicatessen will be able to help you with this.

Mmmm. This recipe looks AMAZING. I plan to bake up some brie this Christmas. Some alternate recipes I've seen call for wraping the brie up in pastry dough with fruit (ie: dates, raspberry jam, apricot preserves, etc.) along with nuts & brown sugar. I want to start experimenting with different kinds! Cheers, Amanda
Hi Amanda
It is SERIOUSLY yummm, and so quick and easy. If you don't have the wooden box, any suitable dish will do as long as it catches all the runny goo............
For Christmas you could push some raw cranberries in through the top crust and you'd get a wonderful tart, tangy bite amongst that soft creaminess.
Making me hungry!
cheers
