Description
This Baked Brie with Fig Jam is an irresistible appetizer that perfectly combines creamy and sweet flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8-10 oz) wheel of Brie cheese
- ¼ cup fig jam
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- Crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh fruit for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: The first step to a perfectly baked brie begins with preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is crucial as it allows the cheese to melt evenly without cooking too quickly.
- Prepare the Brie: Next, remove your brie cheese from its packaging. Carefully score the top of the brie in a crisscross pattern.
- Top with Fig Jam: Spread the fig jam generously over the top of the scored brie.
- Bake the Cheese: Place your prepared brie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Let It Rest: After removing from the oven, allow the baked brie to cool for about five minutes.
Notes
Make sure the brie is at room temperature before baking to help achieve that gooey texture. Storing leftovers? Cover tightly and refrigerate.
