Why You’ll Love This Halloween Bloody Baked Brie
- Frighteningly fast – Just 20 minutes in the oven and you’re ready to serve.
- Minimal ingredients – A brie wheel, jam, and bread. That’s it.
- Spooky presentation – With that “bloody” jam drizzle and syringe garnish, it’s guaranteed to get people talking.
- Crowd-pleaser – Perfect balance of creamy, sweet, salty, and spicy.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 wheel of brie cheese
- 3 tablespoons red pepper jam
- 2–3 tablespoons hot water
- Flaky salt (optional)
- 1 baguette, warmed and sliced (or crackers if you prefer)
How to Make Halloween Bloody Baked Brie
- Prep your oven. Preheat to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake the brie. Place your brie on the sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes. You want it melty but not a total puddle.
- Make the “blood.” In a small bowl, mix the red pepper jam with hot water. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more until you reach that perfect drippy consistency.
- Dress it up. Carefully transfer the baked brie to a serving plate. Spoon the jam on top, letting it drip down the sides like edible horror-movie magic. Sprinkle with flaky salt if you’re feeling fancy.
- The big reveal. For full Halloween drama, load a food-safe syringe with your jam “blood” and either stick it in the brie or place it alongside for guests to squeeze on themselves.
- Serve. Add baguette slices or crackers around the plate and watch it disappear faster than candy corn in October.
Tips for the Best Results
- Keep it spooky. If you can’t find red pepper jam, strawberry or raspberry preserves work too—just aim for that deep red color.
- Don’t overbake. Brie should be soft and gooey, not soup. Keep an eye on it in the oven.
- Warm bread = happy guests. A quick toast of your baguette makes the whole dish even better.
(True story: the first time I made this, my kids thought I had lost my mind when I pulled out a syringe for the cheese board. Five minutes later, they were fighting over the last slice. Lesson learned—always make two.)

FAQs About Halloween Bloody Baked Brie
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prep the jam “blood” in advance, but bake the brie right before serving for best results.
What can I use instead of a baguette?
Crackers, apple slices, or even pretzels work great. Anything sturdy enough to scoop up gooey cheese will do the job.
Is red pepper jam spicy?
It has a mild kick, but nothing overwhelming. If spice isn’t your thing, swap in a fruit jam like raspberry.
