¼ cup dried berries (cranberries or blueberries)
½ tbsp salt flakes
Instructions

- Drizzle half the honey over the brie, sprinkle on mixed nuts and dried berries, then drizzle with the remaining honey. Finish with salt flakes.
- Bake for 10–20 minutes, until soft and slightly oozing around the edges.

Notes
Wrap in puff pastry before baking for an indulgent twist.
Use pistachios and pomegranate seeds for a festive touch.
Add fresh rosemary or thyme for a savory herbal note.
Drizzle balsamic glaze for extra tangy sweetness.
Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes—avoid microwaving.
