This elegant baked Brie with fig jam combines warm, creamy cheese with sweet fig preserves, crunchy nuts, and fragrant rosemary. A simple yet impressive appetizer that’s perfect for holiday gatherings and entertaining.

Ingredients

  • 1 wheel Brie cheese (8 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup fig jam
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • Crackers, toasted baguette slices, or apple slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the Brie wheel in a small oven-safe baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave the rind intact.
  3. Spoon the fig jam evenly over the top of the Brie.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the jam, followed by the fresh rosemary.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the Brie is soft and warm in the center but still holds its shape.
  6. Carefully remove from the oven and let rest for 2–3 minutes.
  7. Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh apple slices.

Notes

  • The Brie rind is edible and helps the cheese hold its shape while baking.
  • Substitute apricot preserves or raspberry jam if fig jam is unavailable.
  • Walnuts, pecans, or sliced almonds add a delicious crunchy contrast.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle a little honey over the Brie just before serving.
  • Prepare the toppings ahead of time and assemble just before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven until warmed through.
  • Nutrition estimates exclude crackers, bread, and fruit served alongside the Brie.
