Every ingredient links to its food page — same data, same score, same formula.

Steps

Score the top rind in a cross-hatch and bake the wheel at 175°C for 12–15 minutes, until it gives under a finger but hasn't burst.
Move to a serving plate, pour over the honey, scatter the nuts and rosemary.
Serve immediately with bread — it sets again within fifteen minutes, and reheated brie is never the same.
