Air fryer baked brie is the best!
Why bake when you can air fry? For the perfect yet simple appetizer that'll wow your friends and family, air fryer baked brie is the way to go.
Not many appetizers give a fancy vibe with almost no effort like a round of brie can do. We step it up a notch with a drizzle of honey, but feel free to skip the sweetness if you're just looking for the cooking time and temperature.
Serve your air fryer baked brie on its own or make a brie charcuterie board loaded with crackers, salami, other types of cheese, fresh fruits, and nuts. Instead of adding honey, you can also make brie with jam, fig and raspberry are our favorites.
Main ingredients you'll need
- Brie - use a small wheel of brie round like President's Brie, don't use a wedge of brie since it'll just melt everywhere. A wheel of double cream brie works fine too.
- Honey- Use any flavor or variety of honey here. Instead of honey, you can also use jam or fig preserves.
- Toppings - Optional ideas like walnuts, pistachios, or pecans, craisins, or other dried fruit pieces.
Fun variations
- Top your baked brie with fruit preserves like raspberry jam, apricot preserves, or fig jam.
- Heated cranberry sauce is a great topping during the holidays.
Equipment
An Air Fryer- We have a Cosori XL basket style air fryer, an Omni Plus oven style air fryer, and a small 3.2L Farberware basket style air fryer. The Cosori was used in this recipe.
Diet adaptions
- Vegan- Vegan Brie- You CAN get vegan brie! It's dairy-free and pretty delicious! It's about three times the cost though, and usually doesn't come with a rind, so you would want to bake it in something like a puff pastry. You can also make your own vegan brie at home.
- Keto- This baked brie is keto friendly as long as you skip the honey!
How to air fry brie
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 F degrees for 4-5 minutes.
- While your air fryer is preheating, cut a small piece of parchment paper to line the bottom of your air fryer. Make sure it isn't too big, as it can be a fire hazard if the paper is folded up the sides of your air fryer.
- Once preheated place your cut parchment paper in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Place the brie round in the center of the air fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes for softened cheese, or cook for 8 minutes for melted cheese. (We recommend 6 minutes to avoid flooding your charcuterie board with melted cheese.)
- Add a drizzle of honey for the last minute of baking time.
- Carefully remove your brie from the air fryer and place it on a serving plate. You'll want to use a full-size flat spatula to scoop it up. If you cooked for the full 8 minutes you have to be diligent in moving your cheese so you don't puncture the rind prematurely and send your melted cheese cascading everywhere.
- Top the melty brie cheese with the honey, a sprinkle of nuts, fresh rosemary springs, or fresh thyme.
Serve the air fryer baked brie with pear slices, apple slices, grapes, baguette slices, or crackers. Cut the brie cheese with a sharp knife for serving. Enjoy!
Honey baked brie tips
- This recipe is based on using a whole round of brie cheese. You don't want to use a wedge or cut your brie before cooking. Even with the parchment paper, you'll end up with a big melty mess.
- Speaking of a big melty mess, leave the rind on your cheese! If you cut the rind off before cooking you'll end up with the same problem as cooking a wedge.
- Don't forget to line your air fryer with a piece of parchment paper. Don't do this until after your air fryer is preheated. If you put parchment paper in your air fryer without weighing it down it will blow to the top and you risk it catching on fire.
FAQ's
Can you eat the rind on brie?
Yes of course! Although when you make baked brie you may find the melted cheese spills out away from the rind. But yes, it is all edible or you can cut it off when serving if you prefer.

Recipe
Air Fryer Baked Brie with Honey
Ingredients
- 8 oz brie round
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- Sprinkle of pecans or walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 F for 4 minutes.
- Lay parchment paper in the bottom of the air fryer.
- Place the brie round in the center of the air fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes for softened cheese, or cook for 8 minutes for a melted cheese. Add a drizzle of honey in the last minute of cooking.
- top with chopped nuts and dried fruit. Enjoy!
Notes
- Serve the warm melted brie with crackers, French bread slices, apples, or pears. You can use the air fryer brie to make a charcuterie board by adding additional types of cheeses and a variety of salami too.
- Instead of drizzling the brie with honey, you can also use maple syrup or add jam. Sprinkling the baked brie with chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or dried cranberries is a nice touch.
- An 8 oz brie round works best for this recipe, while you can use an 8 oz wedge the cheese will start melting and oozing before it's fully heated through. Make sure when you're cooking a brie to use parchment paper in the bottom of the air fryer and check it every couple of minutes to ensure it isn't getting too soft.
- Resist drizzling with honey too soon. honey can burn really quickly in the air fryer, which will leave you with a less-than-desirable aroma and taste.
