Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Place the brie in a small, ovenproof baking dish that is just slightly bigger than the wheel of brie. Using a paring knife, make 4 slivers out of two of the garlic cloves. Pierce the brie with the same paring knife and make slivers in the brie to fit the slivers of garlic in. Tuck the garlic slivers all the way into the brie. You could do this up to one day in advance if you are prepping for a get together; it flavors the brie even more!
- When ready to bake, mince or press the remaining clove of garlic into a microwave-safe bowl, along with the thyme, olive oil, butter, honey, and cayenne. Zap in the microwave just long enough for the butter to melt, roughly 20-40 seconds. Stir to combine and pour the prepared honey butter over the brie wheel. Cover the baking dish with a piece of foil and place in the oven for the brie to melt, about 15-18 minutes for an 8-ounce wheel and 20-25 minutes for a 16-ounce wheel. Remove from the oven around press gently (without piercing the brie) using a butter knife to check if the brie has melted on the inside. If it has not softened place back in the oven for 2-3 additional minutes. When done, serve immediately with crackers or crostini.

Tips:
- Choose a ripe brie. A ripe brie will have a soft, creamy texture and a mild, slightly tangy flavor. Avoid brie that is too hard or too soft, as it will not bake properly.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a rich flavor and a high smoke point. If you don't have extra virgin olive oil, you can use a good quality regular olive oil.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Make sure there is enough space around the brie so that it can bake evenly. If the brie is too crowded, it will not cook properly.
- Bake the brie until it is melted and bubbly. The brie is done baking when it is melted and bubbly on the inside. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the brie, so keep an eye on it while it is baking.
Conclusion:
This garlicky baked brie recipe is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The brie is melted and creamy on the inside, with a crispy, garlicky crust on the outside. It is served with warm bread or crackers, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests.
