Baked Brie with Fig Jam (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 wheel Brie cheese (8-10 ounces)
02 -
1/4 cup fig jam
→ Optional Toppings
03 -
1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
04 -
1 tablespoon honey
05 -
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
→ For Serving
06 -
Your choice of crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh fruit
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven nice and warm at 350°F (175°C).
02 -
Take the brie out of its wrapper. If it came in a wooden box, you can put it back in after unwrapping - it makes a cute serving dish! Otherwise, pop it in a small baking dish.
03 -
Using a sharp knife, make shallow cuts in a crisscross pattern on top of the brie. This helps the jam melt into the cheese while baking.
04 -
Spread the fig jam over the top of your scored brie. If you're using nuts, herbs, or a drizzle of honey, add them now.
05 -
Pop it in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese gets soft and melty when you gently press it.
06 -
Let it rest for 5 minutes (hot cheese can be dangerous!), then serve with your favorite crackers, bread, or fruit.
# Notes:
01 -
Best served warm when the cheese is still gooey
02 -
You can prep this ahead and bake just before guests arrive
