Baked Brie with Honeyed Apricots
We teamed up with our friends at America’s Test Kitchen to share this cast-iron take on a crowd-pleasing favorite: baked Brie. When warmed in a skillet, Brie transforms into a rich, dippable appetizer perfect for gatherings. ATK’s twist? They trim away the rind (which doesn’t melt as evenly) and cube the cheese so that every bite captures the sweet, savory mix of honey and apricots. Baking the Brie in cast iron helps it stay warm and luscious longer—just one more reason we love our skillets. Finish with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of chives, and serve it straight from the pan for an effortless, elegant snack.
