Ingredients

  • 14 ouncescherry tomatoes
  • 1bulb garlic
  • 2 tablespoonsolive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 tablespoonbalsamic glaze
  • flakey sea salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 9 ouncebrie
  • 1 teaspoonhoney
  • ½ teaspoonchili flakes
  • 1baguette (sliced)
  • chopped fresh basil (for garnish)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat: Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).

  2. 2

    Tomato & Garlic Confit: Slice the top off the garlic bulb with a sharp knife about 2-3 cm from the top to expose the raw cloves. Place the bulb of garlic into the centre of an ovenproof dish and scatter the tomatoes around it. Drizzle the garlic with olive oil, and drizzle the tomatoes with the balsamic glaze. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper all over. Bake for 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Cool & Remove Garlic: Take the dish out of the oven and remove the garlic from the dish and set to the side. Allow to slightly cool until you are able to handle it. Using your fingers, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skin.

  4. 4

    Increase Temp: Increase the oven temperature to 180°C (340°F).

  5. 5

    Assemble Brie: Score the Brie with a sharp knife, ensuring you cut quite deep into the cheese. Spread the roasted garlic on top and push it into the slits. Place the brie into the centre of the confit dish and drizzle with honey and olive oil and a sprinkling of chili flakes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the Brie is gooey. It should feel soft when you touch it.

  6. 6

    Toast the Baguette: While the brie is baking, drizzle each baguette slice with olive oil. Place into a fry pan and fry for 5-10 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.

  7. 7

    Enjoy: Garnish the baked Brie with a sprinkling of fresh basil and enjoy immediately with the toasted baguette slices.
