Quick Facts

Yield: Serves 6-8
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

1 rustic baguette or Italian loaf (about 12 inches long)
4 oz. brie cheese, sliced
6 slices prosciutto
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

For the Sauce / Garnish (if applicable):

3 tbsp hot honey (store-bought or homemade)

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by slicing the baguette **lengthwise**, like opening a book but stopping before cutting all the way through. This keeps the bread connected and easy to handle. Then, spread the softened **butter** evenly on each half, making sure every nook gets a little love. This helps the bread crisp up beautifully in the oven.

Step 2:

Next, scatter the **thinly sliced garlic** evenly over the buttered sides. Garlic not only amps up the aroma but crisps up slightly as it bakes—hello, irresistible crunch! Drizzle or brush a bit of **olive oil** over the garlic to prevent it from burning too fast.

Step 3:

Layer the **sliced brie** generously on one side of the bread. Don’t be shy—let the cheese work its magic by melting into every crevice. Then, drape the **prosciutto slices** on top of the brie. This salty, delicate ham will become slightly crispy after baking.

Step 4:

Close the bread like a sandwich and place it on a baking sheet. Pop it in a preheated oven at **375°F** for about **12-15 minutes**, or until the brie has melted and the bread is golden and crispy around the edges.

Step 5:

Carefully remove from the oven (it’s gonna smell incredible!) and drizzle the warm bread with **hot honey**—this is the heart of the recipe. The heat from the honey brings a gentle warmth without overpowering the other flavors.

Step 6:

Garnish with freshly chopped **parsley** if you want a fresh burst of color and taste. Slice the bread into thick, rustic pieces and serve immediately while still warm and gooey.

Variations & Tips

Swap prosciutto for thinly sliced soppressata or smoked ham for a different meat vibe.
Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if you like extra heat.
For a more indulgent version, add a handful of caramelized onions before putting on the brie.
If you don’t have hot honey, mix regular honey with a pinch of cayenne pepper and microwave briefly to combine.
Use a flavorful rustic sourdough loaf for extra texture and tanginess.
Make sure to slice garlic thinly to avoid overpowering raw bits in the final dish.

How I Like to Serve It

This bread is a star at casual weekend brunches, paired perfectly with a crisp white wine or sparkling water. I also love serving it as a warm appetizer during holiday gatherings, where it disappears faster than you can say “pass the hot honey!” For a cozy night in, it’s lovely alongside a fresh green salad tossed with lemon vinaigrette.

Notes

Store leftovers wrapped tightly in foil at room temperature for up to 1 day—best enjoyed warm.
Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes; avoid microwaving to keep bread crispy.

Closing: Once you take that first warm, gooey bite, this Hot Honey Prosciutto Garlic Brie Bread will instantly become your go-to for impressing guests or spoiling yourself.
