Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Unroll the crescent roll dough and form it into a log.
3
Cut the dough log into 21 equal pieces.
4
Place the wheel of brie in the center of the prepared baking sheet.
5
Using a small knife, score the top of the brie in a diamond pattern. This helps it bake evenly.
6
Arrange 19 of the dough pieces around the brie to form the bunny's face and body.
7
Shape the remaining two dough pieces into arches and place them at the top to create the bunny's ears.
8
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic.
9
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over all the dough pieces and the top of the brie.
10
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over everything.
11
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
12
Garnish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt if desired, and serve immediately for the best cheese pull.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Shape crescent roll dough into a bunny by forming two ears from dough scraps and attaching them with a drop of water before baking.
Brush the entire surface with garlic butter, not just the top, to ensure even browning and flavor.
Use a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier; the bunny may leak slightly as it bakes.
Let the baked brie rest for 2–3 minutes before serving so it holds its shape and is less likely to ooze onto the plate.

Substitutions

Unsalted butter → clarified butter (adds richness)
Fresh parsley → fresh thyme or chives (similar garnish effect)
Double crème brie → camembert (softer texture, slightly earthier flavor)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven for 5–8 minutes until soft.

Common Questions

Can I make Baked Brie Bunny ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the bunny up to 8 hours ahead, refrigerate uncovered, then bake when ready. Add 1–2 minutes to baking time if chilled.

What should I serve with Baked Brie Bunny?

Serve with crackers, sliced bread, apple slices, or fresh berries for dipping.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Double crème brie works best because it melts smoothly. Avoid firm cheeses; soft-ripened varieties like camembert also work.

How do I know when it's done baking?

Bake until the crescent roll exterior is golden brown and the brie is visibly soft when gently pressed. Do not overbake or the brie will leak excessively.
