 A Story Served Warm

A Kitchen Memory, Roasted in Honey

The inspiration behind this Roasted Strawberry Brie Delight came to life one late spring afternoon. I had stumbled across a basket of fresh, ruby-red California strawberries at the farmer’s market — the kind you can smell before you see. I didn’t have a plan, but that intoxicating scent followed me home.

As I unpacked the groceries, my eyes fell on a wheel of Brie tucked in the fridge from a weekend cheeseboard. That was the spark. I tossed the strawberries in honey, gave them a swirl of white balsamic, and into the oven they went. The rest? Instant appetizer bliss.

Roasted fruit is one of those culinary secrets — a little heat transforms even the humblest berry into something luxurious. When paired with rich Brie and a buttery crostini, it’s unforgettable.

You might also enjoy how similar this is in spirit to my Lemon Herb Baked Brie in Puff Pastry. And for more strawberry-forward inspiration, don’t miss this Whipped Feta with Roasted Strawberries.

Why This Brie Recipe Stands Out

There’s elegance in simplicity, and this Roasted Strawberry Brie Delight proves it. Here’s why it shines:

  • Quick prep. It takes 5 minutes to assemble and 25 to bake.

  • Only 8 ingredients. Most are pantry staples.

  • Crowd-pleaser. It’s familiar, but elevated — comfort with a twist.

  • Aromatic. The honeyed strawberry syrup perfumes the whole kitchen.

And let’s not forget the textures: creamy Brie, sticky berries, nutty pistachios, and the crunch of toasted bread. It’s the kind of dish that vanishes the second you set it down.

 Ingredients & Prep

Ingredient Breakdown (and a Quick Table)

Here’s what you’ll need to create this Roasted Strawberry Brie Delight:

Ingredient Amount
Wheel of Brie 14 oz (5-inch diameter)
Fresh strawberries (hulled) ¾ lb
Honey 2 tablespoons
White balsamic vinegar 1½ teaspoons
Cracked black pepper (optional) ¼ teaspoon
Fresh mint, chopped 1 tablespoon
Unsalted pistachios, chopped 2 tablespoons
Crackers/crostini/baguette For serving

Use high-quality strawberries for best results — ones that are fragrant and deeply red. And choose a Brie that’s firm enough to bake but soft enough to melt beautifully when warm.

For a spreadable base, you could also substitute Brie with soft goat cheese or Camembert. But nothing quite matches Brie’s creamy depth in this dish.

Tools You’ll Need

  • A sharp paring knife

  • Baking dish or rimmed sheet pan (lined with parchment)

  • Small mixing bowl

  • Spatula or spoon

  • Oven preheated to 375°F

Pro tip: Use parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze — especially when roasting honey-coated fruit.

  Cooking Instructions & Tips

Step-by-Step Method

Here’s exactly how I bring this Roasted Strawberry Brie Delight together:

Step 1 – Prep the Strawberries

Clean and hull your strawberries. Quarter the large ones and halve the small. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, white balsamic vinegar, and optional cracked black pepper.

 Step 2 – Roast the Berries

Toss strawberries into the honey mixture, then spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast at 375°F for 12–15 minutes until tender but still holding their shape. Transfer berries and syrup into a bowl — the syrup thickens as it cools.

 Step 3 – Warm the Brie

Place the Brie on a clean parchment-lined sheet or dish and bake for 10–15 minutes. It should feel soft when gently pressed but not leak from the rind.

 Step 4 – Assemble

While the Brie bakes, fold in the chopped mint and pistachios into the cooled strawberries. Top warm Brie with the mixture and serve immediately.

Helpful Tips

  • Do not overbake the Brie — it should yield when touched but still hold shape.

  • For added flavor, toast your pistachios lightly before chopping.

  • Use a serrated knife for cutting the baguette or crostini.

  • Add a pinch of flaky salt on top for contrast!

 Serving, Storing & Pairing

What to Serve with Roasted Strawberry Brie Delight

This Brie appetizer plays well with:

  • Sliced French baguette or sourdough

  • Whole grain crackers

  • A crisp sauvignon blanc or dry rosé

  • Thinly sliced prosciutto or cured meats

  • Light arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette

Its sweet-savory balance makes it a centerpiece at brunches, baby showers, or cozy date nights. I once served it alongside this Caprese Bruschetta Dip for a spring party — total hit. Or pair it with these Cranberry Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Brie for a full Brie-themed meal.

How to Store & Reheat

Storage:
Wrap leftovers in parchment and foil. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Reheat:
Warm in a 325°F oven for 10 minutes. Do not microwave — it’ll break the cheese. Alternatively, spread leftover Brie and berries onto toast for a dreamy snack.

 FAQ: Roasted Strawberry Brie Delight

  Can I use frozen strawberries?
  I recommend fresh strawberries for roasting. Frozen ones release too much moisture and become mushy.

 Can I make this ahead?
 You can roast the strawberries up to a day in advance. Warm them before topping the Brie.

 What nuts can I use besides pistachios?
 Try chopped walnuts, pecans, or sliced almonds for crunch.

 Is white balsamic vinegar necessary?
 It’s ideal for mild sweetness. Regular balsamic works too but will darken the syrup.

Conclusion

There’s something unforgettable about this Roasted Strawberry Brie Delight — its contrast of textures, the richness of Brie paired with berries, and that hint of mint and crunch. It’s elegance without effort, the kind of dish that makes people stop mid-bite and go, “Wait… what’s in this?”
