# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
8-10 oz round of Brie cheese
02 -
4 tablespoons fig preserves
→ Extras
03 -
A handful of chopped pecans or walnuts (1/4 cup)
04 -
A drizzle of honey, about a tablespoon
05 -
A sprinkle of fresh thyme (1 teaspoon)
→ To Pair With
06 -
Sliced bread, crackers, or fresh fruit—your call!
# Instructions:
01 -
Crank your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it heat up well.
02 -
Take off the wrapper from your brie. If it came in a wooden box, you can reuse the box for baking (it looks nice too). Otherwise, place it in a small dish fit for the oven.
03 -
Lightly score the surface of the brie with a knife, making an X or grid-like pattern. This helps the preserves seep in nicely as it bakes.
04 -
Spread the fig preserves over your brie. Add the nuts, thyme, or honey on top if you're using them.
05 -
Bake for about 15-20 minutes. It's done when the cheese feels soft and gooey if you press it gently.
06 -
Wait a few minutes to cool (melted cheese can scorch!), then give it to guests with crackers, fruit, or bread to enjoy.
# Notes:
01 -
Tastes best warm while the center stays melted.
02 -
Can be prepped ahead of time and baked just when you need it.
