Blackberry & Peach Brie Nachos with Hot Honey & Candied Walnuts: The Ultimate Sweet and Savory Appetizer

In just 20 minutes, you can create the most unexpected and crowd-pleasing appetizer that perfectly balances creamy, sweet, and spicy flavors. These Blackberry & Peach Brie Nachos deliver warm, melted Brie layered with juicy summer fruit, crunchy candied walnuts, and a kick of hot honey that keeps everyone reaching for more. I first made these nachos for a casual backyard gathering last August, and they vanished before the main course even hit the table. This is one of those ridiculously easy recipes that looks like you spent hours perfecting it.

Ingredients

• 1 wheel of Brie cheese, rind on, sliced into thin wedges
• 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh blackberries
• 1 cup candied walnuts, roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons hot honey, plus more for drizzling
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 bag of thick-cut tortilla chips or baguette slices
• Fresh basil or mint for garnish, optional

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the tortilla chips or baguette slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Place the Brie wedges evenly over the chips, making sure each chip gets some cheese.
• Scatter the sliced peaches and blackberries over the top of the Brie and chips.
• Drizzle the hot honey evenly over the entire nacho platter.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the Brie is fully melted and bubbly.
• Remove from the oven and immediately top with the chopped candied walnuts.
• Finish with an extra drizzle of hot honey and fresh herbs if using.
• Serve warm and watch them disappear within minutes.

Pro Tips

• Use a ripe but firm Brie so it melts evenly without turning into a puddle too quickly.
• Slice the peaches thinly for even cooking and a better chip-to-topping ratio.
• Watch the nachos closely after the 8 minute mark since ovens vary and you want bubbly cheese not burnt edges.
• Add the candied walnuts after baking to keep them crunchy rather than soft and chewy.
• If using baguette slices, brush them lightly with olive oil before adding toppings for extra crispiness.

Variations

• Swap blackberries for raspberries or blueberries when they are in season for a different berry twist.
• Use grilled peaches instead of fresh for a smoky charred flavor that pairs beautifully with the hot honey.
• Substitute candied pecans or pistachios for the walnuts if you prefer a different nut profile.
• Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt right before serving to enhance all the sweet and savory flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I make this appetizer ahead of time? It is best served immediately after baking since the chips can get soggy as they cool.
• What kind of Brie works best for nachos? A standard double cream Brie melts beautifully, but avoid anything too soft or overly ripe.
• Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh? Fresh peaches hold their shape better, but thawed and patted dry frozen peaches work in a pinch.
• How do I make my own candied walnuts? Toss walnuts with a tablespoon of maple syrup and a pinch of salt, then toast at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
• Is hot honey very spicy? It has a mild warmth rather than intense heat, but you can use regular honey if you prefer no spice at all.
• What else can I add to these nachos? Crispy bacon bits, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, or fresh arugula are all excellent additions.
