Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 wheel of Brie cheese
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 wheel of Brie cheese, 4 slices of bacon, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Set your Instant Pot Duo Crisp to the 'Sauté' function and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up for about 1-2 minutes.
- Once the oil is hot, add the bacon slices to the pot. Cook the bacon for about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until it is crispy and browned. Remove the bacon from the pot and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- While the bacon cools, carefully remove excess bacon grease from the pot, leaving about 1 tablespoon for flavor. Make sure the pot is off to avoid any splatter.
- Place the wheel of Brie cheese in the pot. Drizzle the maple syrup over the top of the Brie, ensuring it is well coated.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary evenly over the Brie and maple syrup.
- Close the lid of the Instant Pot and ensure the valve is set to 'Sealing.' Select the 'Pressure Cook' function and set the timer for 5 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, carefully perform a quick release by moving the valve to 'Venting' to release the steam.
- After all the steam has been released, open the lid and check the Brie. It should be warm and slightly melted.
- While the Brie is still in the pot, crumble the crispy bacon on top of the melted cheese.
- Using a spatula, carefully transfer the Brie to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining maple syrup from the pot over the cheese for added flavor.
- Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh fruit for dipping. Enjoy your Instant Pot Duo Crisp Bacon Maple Brie!
Tips
- Choose a high-quality Brie wheel with a creamy texture for the best melting results.

- Make sure to drain excess bacon grease to prevent soggy results.
- Fresh rosemary is key—don't substitute with dried herbs if possible.
- Serve immediately while the Brie is warm and gooey for the ultimate taste experience.
- Experiment with different dipping sides like apple slices, crusty baguette, or artisan crackers.
