Thyme Optional
Instructions
Start by placing sweet purple or red grapes on a sheet pan and drizzling with olive oil and a couple of dashes of sea salt.
Add a couple of splashes of balsamic and an equal amount of honey (you can eyeball this- not too much, though. You want a light glaze, not swimming grapes).
Stir the grapes to coat, then roast at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until the grapes are browning, the skins are popping, and the juices are becoming jammy.
Set grapes aside and heat the brie wheel according to the package directions. I scored the top of mine both ways, placed the brie in a cast-iron pan, and put it in the oven at 375 degrees until the middle was wobbly (this took 20-25 minutes for me).
When the brie is done, pour the roasted grapes and their juices over it and, if desired, garnish with thyme.
Serve with crostini.
Tip: to save time, I surrounded the brie round with slices of baguette, which toasted while the brie was heating!
Notes
Notes: I used homegrown grapes. These are smaller and sweeter. If your grapes are larger, they may need more roasting time.
