How to Grill Brie

Don't put brie directly on the grate — it'll melt through. A cast iron skillet or foil tray is essential. Score the rind so the toppings infuse into the melting cheese. Serve with crusty bread or crackers.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep: Score the top rind in a crosshatch pattern. Top with honey, walnuts, and thyme. Place in a small cast iron or foil tray.
  2. Preheat: Get your BBQ to 180-200°C (350-400°F). Clean and oil the grate to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill: Cook for 8-12 minutes (indirect heat).
  4. Check doneness: The centre is molten and gooey when pressed gently, the rind holds its shape.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavour.
