Ingredients

1 round brie cheese (about 200–250 g / 7–9 oz)
200 g / 7 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
1½ tbsp olive oil
Fresh thyme or parsley, finely chopped
Fine salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
Place the brie in a small oven-safe dish.
In a pan, warm the olive oil and cook the mushrooms until they release moisture and turn golden.
Add the garlic near the end and cook briefly until fragrant.
Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper.
Spoon the mushroom mixture over the brie.
Bake until the cheese is soft and visibly yielding in the center.
Finish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Serving ideas

Serve straight from the baking dish with bread, crackers, or roasted vegetables. This works well as a relaxed dinner centerpiece or a warm plate placed in the middle of the table.
