This Baked Brie & Blackberry Galette is the kind of appetizer that looks impressive but takes very little effort. Flaky puff pastry wraps around creamy brie, juicy blackberries, fresh thyme, and a drizzle of honey for that perfect balance of savory and sweet.
It’s ideal for entertaining, but honestly, it’s just as good for a cozy night in with a glass of wine. The brie melts into the berries, the honey brings everything together, and the thyme adds a subtle earthy note that keeps it from feeling too sweet.
Helpful Tips
- Keep the pastry cold. If it gets too soft while assembling, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking. Cold pastry puffs better.
- Don’t overload the berries. Too many will release extra juice and make the pastry soggy. Stick close to 1 cup.
- Serve slightly warm. Let it rest a few minutes after baking so the cheese thickens slightly and doesn’t spill out when sliced.
