Baked Brie is the ultimate elegant-but-easy party food. From jam to bacon to nuts to pesto, these recipes will show you all the ways you can top this gooey, delightful cheese.

The best baked brie recipe, topped with pesto and garlic cloves on a platter with charcuterie and crackers.

You Will Love These Brie Cheese Recipes

Baked Brie is the ultimate payoff for the smallest amount of work possible. In truth, you could simply pop a completely plain round of brie into the oven for a few minutes, pair it with a sleeve of crackers, and call it a party (and please invite me if you do).

But the great thing about brie is that even though it has that funky cheese flavor that so many of us love, it’s also a great cheese to pair with other flavors and textures.

The toppings are where you can get creative with this easy appetizer and add crunch, sweetness, spice, or a combination of all three.

The list of recipes I’ve compiled below are some of my favorites from around the internet. All involve a minimal amount of work for a huge flavor payoff.

I’m also including my own recipe for baked brie topped with the best homemade pesto and roasted garlic below.

Dried cranberries are the seasonal ingredient you didn’t know your Thanksgiving stuffing was missing. This buttery, herby Cranberry Stuffing adds a unique twist to your holiday table.

Cranberry Stuffing is Unique and Delicious

Cranberry haters, look away. Today is a party for the cranberry lovers! They’re tart, they’re sweet, they’re seasonal, and they make a memorable addition to stuffing.

Like most of my stuffing recipes, I’ll be starting with my husband’s grandma’s old fashioned Stuffing Recipe that continues to be one of the most popular recipes on this site, year after year.

The combination of toast-it-yourself torn bread and the dried-cubes-in-a-bag stuffing mix, along with plenty of butter, poultry seasoning and sage is a base recipe that you can’t go wrong with.

The tart cranberries fit right in like they were always meant to be there, and make this stuffing the perfect complement to roast turkey or any other holiday main dish.

Why You Will Love This Cranberry Stuffing Recipe

  • It’s a nice way to incorporate seasonal cranberries into your meal even if you don’t necessarily want to serve cranberry sauce.
  • The cranberries provide a pop of red color and a satisfying burst of juiciness, so this stuffing looks just as festive as it tastes.
  • Make this a day or two before the holiday and bake it before dinner. Make ahead sides are the way to go!

Start with the best stuffing recipe ever, then add savory sausage and sweet apples to it! Everybody who has tried this Sausage and Apple Stuffing has come back for seconds.

This Apple Sausage Stuffing Will Be The Star of Your Table

With over a quarter of a million page views, my husband’s grandma’s old fashioned Stuffing Recipe has become a go-to recipe for home chefs year after year since it was published.

While nothing I can do could compete with, well, Grandma, today I am offering an option to take that original recipe and just add a bit . . . more.

The sweet-and-savory pairing of rich, savory sausage and sweet, tart apples is always nice, but especially so in stuffing.

Try this for a holiday gathering, or make a batch to go with pork chops any time of the year. I guarantee it will bring you comfort with every bite.

Why You Will Love This Sausage and Apple Stuffing Recipe

  • Tender apples, soft bread cubes and meaty sausage add layers of flavor and texture that make this stuffing super satisfying to eat.
  • The prep work is pretty simple, but creates a stuffing that tastes gourmet, so you can impress your guests with minimal effort.
  • Make this a day or two before the holiday and bake it before dinner. I do this every year!

This is THE best Garlic Bread recipe, perfected by true garlic bread lovers. There’s a double dose of garlic, Parmesan cheese, a hint of pepper, and a preferred brand of butter that stands above the rest.

“Best garlic bread we have ever had!!! I will never buy a frozen garlic loaf again. So easy too.”

This Homemade Garlic Bread Recipe is the Only One You’ll Ever Need!

My husband and I often joke that we’re a “garlic bread family.” Although, it’s not really a joke, and if we ever had to write some sort of family mission statement, garlic bread might play a pretty important role in that document.

Had a bad day? We’re gonna cure that with garlic bread. Not sure how to round out this meal? Well, that’s a problem that garlic bread can solve. When in doubt? Garlic bread.

I won’t lie – we often buy frozen versions of multiple persuasions – loaves, Texas toast, breadsticks, knots, etc. But when we have a few extra minutes to make a loaf of this homemade garlic bread?

Oh mama, the garlic bread family is never happier. You can trust this recipe because we’ve been perfecting it for a long time. It’s loved by the adults and the 5-year-old alike.

It has a double oomph of garlic from both fresh garlic and garlic powder, plenty of Parmesan cheese, a bit of pepper, and the most important element: the best butter. After testing this with all kinds of butter, we’ve found one brand that stands above the rest, and we’re sharing the details below.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe for Garlic Bread

  • Perfect for ANY meal. I really can’t think of many meals that can’t be improved with garlic bread. It’s the ideal accompaniment to spaghetti, lasagna, soups, salads and more.
  • Much easier to make than the recipes where you pre-slice the bread part way and then have to spread butter between the slices. Our technique is way faster.
  • It honestly doesn’t take THAT much longer than baking a loaf of store-bought garlic bread.

This Summer Salad Recipe is light enough for a hot day, but filling enough that you won’t feel snacky later on. Oh, and four words: TWO. TYPES. OF. CHEESE.

Stay cool with a Summer Salad

As the temperature rises, pretty much all I want to eat for dinner is a cold, crisp salad. I’ve tried many different combinations of ingredients over the years, but this one feels the best for June and July, when strawberries and blueberries are at their best.

The combination of the juicy berries, super creamy goat cheese, crunchy pecans, savory grilled chicken and homemade raspberry vinaigrette is light enough to make it appealing on a hot day, but still filling enough that you won’t feel snacky later on.

And if your family is like mine and doesn’t get through “salad night” without some sort of bread, don’t miss the ricotta toast – crunchy grilled bread topped with ricotta cheese, more of those amazing strawberries, and a drizzle of honey.

Why You’ll Love This Easy Summer Salad

  • It’s easily customizable to what you have on hand. Use any type of berry and any type of nut.
  • The vibrant colors make for a beautiful presentation. You’ll want to invite company over to show off!
  • Four words: TWO. TYPES. OF. CHEESE.

This Caesar Salad With Salmon Makes A Perfect Light Dinner!

There’s something undeniably delicious about a Caesar salad, with its crisp lettuce, bold dressing and crunchy croutons.

It’s practically universally loved in its original form, but you know that around here, it’s probably going to get upgraded with some salmon. Over 4 million people have come to this site for our salmon recipes, so today we’re here with our Salmon Caesar Salad.

This twist on a traditional favorite is an easy way to incorporate more heart-healthy fish into your meal plan. Once you’ve added the flavor-packed dressing, Parmesan cheese and even a bit of avocado, you might be surprised at who will become a salmon lover.

Why You Will Love This Salmon Caesar Salad Recipe

  • Nutritious and satisfying, this salad is packed with a double dose of omega-3 fatty acids from both the salmon and the avocado.
  • It’s equally at home for a light dinner party main as it is for a weekday lunch.
  • You can have this on the table in 30 minutes, if you prepare the dressing in advance (which we recommend anyway, for best flavor).

This is the best stuffing recipe, very likely the same one your grandma used to make. Made with milk, turkey stock, onions, celery and herbs, this family recipe is the quintessential side dish for Thanksgiving.

“I have been searching for a recipe like this for years. Family members loved this! Thanks for your version which helped me figure out my grandmother’s.”

—Pat

“I ran across your Grandma Mary Ellen’s stuffing recipe last year and what a hit it was!! Thank you!! I too have been searching for a recipe similar to my Grandmother’s and your recipe is spot on!”

—Mary

This is the BEST Stuffing Recipe

You know how you hear about people taking recipes to their grave? My husband’s grandma seriously did that with her Thanksgiving bread stuffing. The only detail she ever gave us was “well, I just soak the bread in milk, really.”

It was the best turkey stuffing in the whole wide world, and I consider myself a stuffing aficionado. It had a simple, comforting flavor and was just perfect in every way.

So, ever since Mary Ellen passed, it’s been my mission to try to recreate this recipe. Using flavor memories and reader comment and e-mails since I first published this recipe in 2014, I’ve been able to get it super close to the original.

The recipe card below reflects ten years of work, and dozens of tests. The recipe in the card below will yield you a delicious old fashioned bread stuffing to serve alongside your Thanksgiving turkey, I guarantee it.

Why You Will Love Grandma’s Old Fashioned Dressing

  • This is a treasured family recipe that is very similar to what many people in the Midwest grew up eating at their own grandma’s table.
  • There’s an option to use those giblets that come with your turkey, for extra flavor – or not.
  • Make this a day or two before the holiday and bake it before dinner. I do this every year!

This Burrata Peach Salad is the perfect balance of flavor.

Since I’m not the world’s biggest fan of peaches eaten on their own or in sweet dishes, my goal this summer was to make the best savory peach dish ever.

This Burrata Peach Salad lives up to those expectations and more.

While many peach burrata salads also include tomatoes or avocado for filler, or prosciutto, this one needs no filler or meat at all.

The co-stars of this show are lots of juicy grilled peaches and luscious burrata cheese.

The supporting players are a flurry of fresh herbs, pine nuts, and a sweet-savory dressing made with honey and shallots.

The special guest star is some rustic pesto croutons which you’ll want to gobble up before they even make it onto the salad.

Why you will love this peach salad

  • It’s a versatile dish that pairs well with a wide variety of main courses, like chicken or steak.
  • It can also be eaten as a meatless entree with some crusty bread alongside.
  • Its memorable combination of flavors will have you craving peach season each year.

Repurpose melted ice cream into the most decadent, perfectly golden brown Brioche French Toast. Only 4 ingredients + 20 minutes!

Two slices of ice cream French toast on a gray plate, topped blueberries, mint, a strawberry, a scoop of ice cream and maple syrup.

Melted ice cream seems like it should be one of life’s great heartbreaks.

Maybe you had a birthday party and left it out a few minutes too long. Maybe your husband accidentally put the ice cream away in the FRIDGE and not the freezer (ask me how I know).

No judgement here. However you got here, we’re going to repurpose that melted ice cream into something magnificent!

This Brioche French Toast recipe uses melted ice cream in place of the dairy and vanilla extract found in traditional French toast recipes.

The subtle sweetness of the ice cream, along with the perfectly crisp golden brown crust on the French toast may have you melting ice cream on purpose for brunch!

Allow me to introduce you to this ice cream French toast recipe that is made with melted ice cream. It’s a kitchen “hack” that has probably already made the rounds on Tik Tok, but I’ve been making since long before that.

Why you’ll love this French Toast with Brioche Bread

  • If you’ve ever left a carton of ice cream out too long and it’s melted too much, this is a back-pocket recipe. Re-freezing ice cream is never a great idea, but this recipe is!
  • With the melted ice cream taking the place of both the milk and the vanilla, this recipe comes together with just 4 ingredients!
  • The decadent combination of rich brioche bread and melted ice cream creates a breakfast that feels like dessert. It’s perfect for a special occasion brunch!

As I’ll explain below, charcuterie for breakfast is quite common in Europe, and I think we should celebrate here in the United States, too!
