Smoky Campfire Brie
This Smoky Campfire Brie Recipe is very low effort, but fantastically flavourful and feels bougie. The maple syrup and rosemary is delicious!
Servings: 4 See Notes
Calories: 193kcal
Equipment
- Foil pie plate See post for how we make one from foil.
- Wood Chips, Optional
Ingredients
- 1 Small Brie Round 200-250 g, or 8 oz ish.
- Nonstick Cooking Spray I like Olive Oil Spray
- Fresh Rosemary Sprig
- 2 tablespoon Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Get a medium-hot fire going - we recommend using a charcoal grill for this.
- Spray your foil plate with nonstick spray, then place your brie round on the pan, nicer/flatter side down. Spray with pan spray.
- Toss a handful of wood chips on the coals, then place the pan of brie on the grill gates. Cover the grill, cook for 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the pan from the heat. Spray the top with more pan spray, then carefully flip the brie in the pan.
- Using a sharp knife, score the top of the brie round. Aim to cut JUST through the rind, maybe slightly deeper - but that’s it.
- Once you’ve scored the top, place a piece of rosemary on top of the cheese.
- Throw another handful of wood chips over the goals, put the pan back on the grill, cover, and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Remove from the grill, and carefully transfer the baked brie round to your serving plate.
- Drizzle with maple syrup, and serve immediately, with your choice of crackers.
Notes
Campfire Smoked Brie is definitely best when served hot off the fire.
If you do find yourself with leftovers, though, you can let it cool to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. You’ll want to gently reheat it before serving.
A note on servings:
I don't know who comes up with this crap, but apparently a small round of brie is supposed to serve 8-10 people.
Ridiculous.
Reasonably, I'd expect to serve 4 people with this recipe, but I'll be honest - we easily polish it off between the two of us with NO guilt over it.
Govern yourself accordingly!
