Description

Baked Brie with Fig Jam and Pecans combines the rich creaminess of brie cheese, the sweetness of fig jam, and the crunch of toasted pecans. A perfect appetizer that’s simple to make and sure to impress your guests during any holiday gathering or dinner party.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Baked Brie:

  • 1 round of brie cheese (8 oz)
  • 1/4 cup fig jam (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup pecans (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)
  • Fresh bread or crackers (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare the Brie: Place the brie cheese on the prepared baking sheet. Score the top of the brie to allow the jam to soak in better.
  3. Add the Toppings: Spread a generous amount of fig jam over the top of the brie. Sprinkle chopped pecans and rosemary on top. Drizzle honey if desired.
  4. Bake: Place the brie in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is gooey and soft, but still holds its shape.
  5. Serve: Let the brie sit for a minute, then serve with fresh bread, crackers, or apple slices for dipping.

Notes

  • Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on the brie to avoid it becoming runny. It should be soft and gooey but still hold its shape.
  • Make it a meal: Serve with sliced roast chicken or charcuterie for a complete appetizer experience.
  • Keep the rind on: The rind helps keep the brie intact while baking and adds texture when serving.
