Do you want a great Super Bowl recipe? How about serving up some Baked Brie?
What’s that you say? Baked Brie is girly food – not manly enough for a Super Bowl party?
First of all, girls like football too, so you need to have some girl food at your party. Secondly, this is a savory Baked Brie recipe kicked up a notch with some delicious caramelized onions. Men won’t be able to stay away once they see the oooey gooey melted cheese piled with crispy edged, sweet, caramelized onions.
Will you get some flack for serving Brie at a Super Bowl party? Maybe. Let the “too manly for Baked Brie” people have one taste and I promise they’ll change their mind.
Thanks to Dine & Dish Facebook Fans for walking through my adventure into a savory Baked Brie experience! You all are awesome.
Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions
Ingredients
- 1/2 Package Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets 1 sheet
- 1 8 oz wheel Brie Cheese I really like Alouette brand
- 1 sweet / yellow onion thinly sliced and caramelized following this method http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_caramelize_onions/
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
- Slice the wheel of Brie in half, horizontally, so that the halves are two, flatter wheels of Brie.
- Lay the puff pastry on the cookie sheet. Place half of the Brie, rind-side down, onto the pastry dough.
- Spoon caramelized onions evenly over the top. Place the other half of Brie, rind-side up, over the caramelized onions.
- Fold the puff pastry up and over the Brie, sealing so it is bundled up. Flip entire Brie over so seal is on the bottom.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until puff pastry is golden brown. Server warm with crackers or baked pita chips.

It’s funny… I am totally doing a baked brie recipe for our bbq on Saturday. This looks fabulous!
Kristen says
I think Baked Brie at a BBQ sounds like a perfect idea 🙂 I think a BBQ in February sounds even better!
Lori @ RecipeGirl says
I’m loving this. Big brie fan here!
Kristen says
It’s delicious, indeed!
Bree says
This is a marriage of two of my favorite things. I need this in my life STAT.
Kristen says
I have 4 wheels of Brie in my fridge right now, begging to have this treatment again!
*Just Fran* says
I have everything on hand to make this. I could care less about the Super Bowl, but that brie is calling my name. 🙂
Kristen says
I’m the same way – it’s all about the food 🙂
Rachel @ Bakerita says
This looks amazing! Rosemary or thyme would be amazing in the caramelized onions as well…mmm so delicious. Nothing better than caramelized onions and brie.
Kristen says
I want to add some sauteed mushrooms next time. The possibilities are really endless!
Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen says
I can’t say no to baked brie and how could a guy not love the ooey goodness of baked cheese!
Kristen says
A guy would be nuts not to love this 🙂
Bev Weidner says
You do NOT have to convince me. My face just fell off in a river of drool.
Ben says
Girly food, hahaha that’s too funny. The cheese does look delicious on top of the onions.
SWeetsugarbelle says
This is right up my alley, Kristen! Looks delicious!
amanda @ fake ginger says
Oh yum! I tend to stick with sweet when it comes to brie but this looks amazing!
Joan Hayes@chocolate and more says
This looks so wonderful, had to pin it! Yum!
Maria says
I have to make this! Yum!
Megan Pence says
TOTALLY, like, BRILLIANT! I have had a puff pastry and wheel of brie in the fridge for a few days and was trying to think of a way to jazz it up. This is totally it.
Greg says
This looks great and is a favorite in our house. We go more sweet than savory. We’ll need to do that next time. I would suggest baking it at 400 to really make it golden and crisp.
Kristen says
Thanks, Greg… I’ll definitley try that. I did feel like it could have been crispier!
Kathy - Panini Happy says
You gotta be comfortable with baked Brie if you come to my house – because I like to serve it! Sweet onions over the top sound pretty terrific.
Amy says
I like baked brie already but this one takes it over the top! I do believe I’d have to hide it from the men around here. YUM!
Natalie says
Oh, my! That looks absolutely positively amazing. I am positive that it would be a hit at any Super Bowl party.
Living The Sweet Life says
Baked Brie leaves me speechless!! How can you not fall in love with that melted cheesy-goodness?!?! faaanntastic recipe 🙂
The Duo Dishes says
Men love cheese, men love brie. Especially if it’s topped with onions. They’ll eat the entire thing in seconds!
Lana says
I was also looking for a savory baked brie recipe and this is perfect! Caramelized onions add just enough sweetness to complement melted cheese. Thanks, Kristen:)
Julia says
Why, why do men think baked brie is chick food? Their loss, my gain, more for me!
Bee (Quarter Life Crisis Cuisine) says
Ahhh I just love brie! I’m not a huge onion fan but carmelized ones I can handle. This looks great! 🙂
TidyMom says
Do you know I’ve never had baked brie? Think I need to try this!
Kristen says
Oh Cheryl – you will LOVE it!
Laurie says
OK, I’m drooling!! I think I’m going to have to make this so we can indulge as we watch the big game – Go Giants!!
wintersundays says
*Swoon* Just added this to my list for Super Bowl Sunday!! One question. I have never worked with puff pastry. Do I need to roll it out with a pin or simply place the cheese on it once it’s thawed? Thanks so much!!!
Roxana GreenGirl { A little bit of everything} says
You don’t have to say baked brie twice! I’m hoping my man will stay away from this so I can enjoy it all by myself. I’m so selfish sometimes!
Sue @ Cakeballs, cookies and more says
You have got to be kidding me! This is so going to be all for me, no man in my life is going to be allowed to share this! it’s too good for sharing.
Shaina says
I love baked brie. Every holiday my aunt brings it, and I rarely make it at home. I definitely need to try it with caramelized onions.
Aimee @ Simple Bites says
Caramelized onions and cheese? This sounds like the best baked brie ever. This – and only this – sounds like my ideal Valentine’s dinner. With wine, of course. 🙂
Deborah says
Brie is one of my favorites, but I’ve never tried it with onions. Sounds fab!
Diane {Created by Diane} says
oh I’m wishing I had this right now, I love brie 🙂 sounds delicious!
Lisa [With Style and Grace] says
oh, my husband would die and go to heaven if I put this in front of him!!
Devan Harrington says
I went to London back over the new years eve 2012. while there I ate at a restaurant that had a baked brie that was to die for. I’d never been able to find the recipe that even comes close to it. so I stole many different recipes to modify and find the flavor I was looking for.
after much experimentation, I found the flavor profile I was looking for.
for the topping: caramelize a combination of onions and filberts(small hazelnuts).
for baking: at 350 degrees: top whole brie wheel (including rind) with apricot jam and put full caramelized mixture on and around the wheel. bake until cheese melts. around fifteen to twenty minutes.
enjoy.
Patti Goin says
The Ingredient list calls for onion “carmelized using this method” I don’t see the method anywhere in this recipe. Is is special, or just carmelize the onion?
Lida says
Great recipe, except the recipe for the cartelized onions is missing. 🙁
Kristen says
Ugh I’m so sorry! The link disappeared. Here is the method: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_caramelize_onions/
Thank you!
