Notes & Wine Advice
Recipe Notes
Watch the walnuts carefully during the final few minutes. Nuts can brown quickly in an air fryer, so toss them halfway through for even roasting. Allow the walnuts to cool before chopping them. As they cool, they become crisp and give the soft Brie a pleasant contrast. For a lower-carb serving option, offer fresh vegetables instead of crackers. Alternatively, serve both so guests can choose their favorite accompaniment. Serve the Brie immediately after adding the marmalade and walnuts. The centre tastes best while it remains warm, soft, and creamy.Wine Advice

About This Recipe
Orange Walnut Brie combines warm, creamy Brie with sweet orange marmalade and crunchy spiced walnuts. Cinnamon adds warmth, while cumin and cayenne give the topping a savory and slightly spicy edge. In addition, the air fryer makes the Brie wonderfully soft without requiring a conventional oven.
Creamy Brie with Orange Marmalade
Brie forms the rich and creamy centre of this easy Cheese dish. Meanwhile, orange marmalade provides sweetness and a fresh citrus flavor. The combination works especially well because the fruity topping balances the richness of the cheese. Therefore, you only need a small amount of marmalade to give every bite plenty of flavor.
Crunchy Spiced Walnuts
The walnuts provide an important crunchy contrast to the soft Brie. First, egg white helps the spices stick to the nuts. Cinnamon, cumin, and cayenne then create a warm and aromatic coating. After air frying, allow the walnuts to cool before chopping them. As a result, they become crisp and add extra texture. Browse our Nuts Recipes for more ideas.
