Garlic Butter Baked Brie in a Box

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. 2

   Lift the lid off the Brie box and set it aside to use as a serving tray later. Unwrap the Brie from any packaging and place it back into the lower half of the box. Using a knife, lightly score the top rind to allow the cheese to bubble through.

3. 3

   Combine the butter and garlic in a small bowl and microwave until the butter is fully melted, about 45 seconds. Season with black pepper, then spoon the garlic butter evenly over the top of the Brie. Set the box on a rimmed baking sheet.

4. 4

   Bake until the cheese is gooey and fully melted, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and scatter thyme and crushed red pepper over the top. Nestle the box into the lid for extra stability, transfer to a serving platter, and serve alongside toasted baguette slices.
