Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 wheel wheel of Brie cheese Look for one that’s soft and creamy, it’ll melt beautifully!
- 1/4 cup fig jam Feel free to swap in your favorite jam, like apricot or raspberry, for a different twist!
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans) Toasting the nuts slightly before adding them enhances their flavor—yum!
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (optional) If you’re short on time, the Brie is just as fabulous baked without it!
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional) Fresh rosemary or thyme will add a lovely aromatic touch!
- Crackers or sliced baguette for serving Choose a hearty cracker or a warm slice of baguette to scoop up that gooey goodness!
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If using puff pastry, roll it out and place the Brie in the center.
- Spread the fig jam on top of the Brie.
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the jam.
- Fold the puff pastry around the Brie and seal it if using.
- If not using puff pastry, simply place the Brie on a baking sheet.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Serving
- Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Use a sharp knife to slice into the Brie; you don’t want the melty goodness to escape early! Don’t forget to pre-toast nuts for an added layer of flavor. Experiment with different herb combinations based on the season.
