Why settle for ordinary garlic bread when a few slices of brie and a drizzle
of honey can turn it into something truly special?

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 50g butter

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley

  • 4 sprigs thyme, leaves stripped

  • 1 sourdough baguette

  • ½ round brie, cut into slices

  • 1 tsp honey (optional)

Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat a small saucepan over low-medium heat and add the olive oil and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and just starting to brown. Remove from the heat and add the butter and season well with salt. Allow to cool for a few minutes, stir through the parsley and most of the thyme.

  2. Step 2

    Heat your oven to 200C fan-forced (220C conventional). Cut the baguette almost completely through at 4cm intervals, leaving just enough of the base to hold it together. Spread the garlic butter liberally into the cuts in the baguette and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and place a slice of brie into each cut. Drizzle with the honey (if using) and return to the oven for 3 more minutes until the brie starts to melt. Remove from the oven and scatter with the remaining thyme.
