Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Topping

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 lb pork sausage (thawed)
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary

Main

  • 1 lb brie wheel
  • Crostini or pita chips, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the brie later.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the thawed pork sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until the sausage is browned and no longer pink inside.
  3. Add Flavorings: Stir in the brown sugar, chopped walnuts, and fresh rosemary into the cooked sausage. Continue cooking over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring consistently, allowing the mixture to thicken and become aromatic.
  4. Prepare Brie: Score the top of the 1 lb brie wheel gently with a knife to allow steam to escape and flavors to penetrate. Place the brie in a small baking dish to contain any melting cheese.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Spoon the sausage mixture evenly over the top of the brie. Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the brie is bubbly and soft.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately with crostini or pita chips for dipping into the hot, gooey cheese and sausage topping.

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, remove the rind from the top of the brie before baking.
  • Use toasted walnuts for an extra nutty depth.
  • This dish can be made ahead by preparing the sausage topping and storing it separately; assemble and bake just before serving.
  • Try substituting pork sausage with a turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner option.
  • Leftover baked brie can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven.
