What You’ll Need

- 1 (8-ounce) Brie cheese wheel – For the best Brie Cheese Wheel with Rosemary Wreath, picking a quality Brie is key. Look for a creamy, soft cheese with a mild flavor.
- Fresh rosemary sprigs (about 1 cup) – The rosemary garnish is what makes this dish special. Use fresh rosemary for the best herb infused cheese aroma.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil – Helps the rosemary crisp up and adds a subtle richness to the wreath.
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional) – A drizzle of honey can add a lovely touch of sweetness that balances the Brie’s creaminess.
- Crackers or sliced baguette (for serving) – Choose your favorite crackers. For help with picking the best cheese and crackers, check out this ultimate guide to cheese and crackers.
You’ll find everything for this Brie Cheese Wheel with Rosemary Wreath at your regular grocery store. Fresh rosemary is usually right near the herbs. Don’t skip it because rosemary makes all the difference in this herb infused cheese board decoration.
If you need to swap, fresh thyme or sage work well as a stand-in for rosemary, but the rosemary garnish is my favorite by far. If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can try a soft cashew cheese wheel as a base, though the taste will change.
Here’s a Brie Cheese Wheel with Rosemary Wreath secret: gently pressing the rosemary into a little olive oil before arranging it around the wheel brings out a deeper flavor during baking. My family prefers when I make this little touch—it really lifts the whole presentation.
If you need a few crackers that work great, I recommend selecting ones with a neutral flavor to let the Brie shine, or crispy baguette slices for some extra crunch.
How to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Setting the right temperature is the first step to getting a perfect Brie Cheese Wheel with Rosemary Wreath that’s warm and melty but not overcooked.
- Lightly brush the olive oil over the rosemary sprigs. This helps the rosemary crisp nicely, giving your wreath a wonderful texture and aroma.
- Arrange the rosemary wreath carefully around the Brie wheel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. The rosemary garnish makes the baked brie presentation beautiful and inviting.
- Optional step: drizzle the honey over the top of the Brie and rosemary wreath. If your family enjoys a touch of sweetness, this elevates the flavor balance without needing extra effort.
- Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. You’ll know your Brie Cheese Wheel with Rosemary Wreath is ready when the cheese feels soft to the touch and is starting to ooze slightly at the edges.
- As the Brie cheese melts, your kitchen will smell amazing thanks to the rosemary and that warm, creamy cheese filling the air.
- Don’t worry if your Brie Cheese Wheel with Rosemary Wreath looks a little messy after baking. A little rustic charm adds to its homemade appeal.
Here’s where I used to mess up my Brie Cheese Wheel with Rosemary Wreath: placing the rosemary too close to the cheese so it burned easily. Now I always make sure it’s arranged just right, avoiding that bitter taste.
While your Brie Cheese Wheel with Rosemary Wreath is cooking, you’ll have time to grab your crackers or slice a baguette. It’s a perfect moment for a quick tidy-up or to pour your favorite drink.
