1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the Brie wheel on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a small oven-safe dish.
3. Using a small sharp knife, score the top of the Brie by cutting a shallow crisscross pattern into the rind. This allows the honey garlic glaze to seep in.
4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
5. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let the garlic brown.
6. Add the honey and soy sauce to the saucepan. Stir well and let the mixture gently simmer for 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
7. Remove the saucepan from heat, and pour the honey garlic mixture evenly over the top of the Brie.
8. Bake the Brie in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and gooey inside.
9. Carefully transfer the Brie to a serving dish if it was baked on a baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top for added flavor and presentation.
10. Serve immediately with slices of French baguette or your favorite crackers for dipping.
