Baked Brie with Blueberries & Bacon

Wow. Is anyone else having a hard time believing September is already here? With the start of school this week and cooler temps, it really does feel like we’re welcoming Fall! Today, I’m sharing a delicious recipe alongside 25 other bloggers to kick off the Fall season! My Baked Brie with Blueberries and Bacon is the perfect appetizer for this time of year. It’s warm, gooey and has the most fabulous flavors in every bite!

Thanks to Krista of The Happy Housie for inviting me to participate in another round of her wonderful Seasonal Simplicity Series. You can take a look back at all of the Fall Seasonal Simplicity posts here.

DELICIOUS FALL APPETIZER: BAKED BRIE WITH BLUEBERRIES AND BACON

On any given occasion, I love t0 make and serve an appetizer. My go-to is usually a quick dip — Something you can mix together and throw in a bowl. This baked brie does in fact have to be “baked” but it’s done in minutes! 

A hot dish, like this Baked Brie with Blueberries and Bacon is the perfect appetizer to serve in when it’s cold outside. There’s something so cozy and comforting about a warm appetizer.

Plus, who can resist anything with a hint of bacon?!

INGREDIENTS FOR BAKED BRIE WITH BLUEBERRIES & BACON

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons chopped bacon pieces [I use the Hormel brand pouch]
• A handful or one cup of blueberries
• Wheel of Brie cheese
• Approximately 1 tablespoon of honey [drizzled on top at the end]

DIRECTIONS FOR BAKED BRIE WITH BLUEBERRIES & BACON

1 || Add butter, brown sugar, bacon and blueberries to a pot and cook on the stove-top on medium heat until simmering [about 5-7 minutes]. You want the blueberries to cook down and start to reduce.

2 || Carve out the top part of the rind of the brie cheese and remove.

3 || Place brie on a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a baking dish and put in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

4 || Take the cheese out of the oven and pour the mixture on top.

5 || Put the brie back in the oven for 5 minutes at 450 degrees until the cheese is bubbling out from underneath the blueberries.

6 || Take out and drizzle honey over the top.

7 || Serve warm with pita chips or crackers and enjoy!

Brie is one of my very favorite types of soft cheeses. And I love to eat it both cold and hot. It’s perfect to put out on a charcuterie board, but the ooey-gooey yumminess when it’s baked is like none other.

Especially when you have the tartness of the blueberries, the savory of the bacon and the sweet from the honey all in one delicious bite! And if you want a real treat, try a bite with a sip of red wine 😉 You can see all of my favorite Red wines here and all my Pinot Noir Favorites Under $25 here.
