Baked brie with fig spread and pecans is a marvelous appetizer for holiday entertaining! Serve it up with toasted baguette and crackers for a delicious bite!
There’s no other way to say this…
Melted cheese.
Major thing.
I’m of the belief that cheese is 200x better when it’s melted. Anyone else with me on the melty cheese front?
And mixed with fruity fig spread? Ugh just stop granting me wishes, life…you are just so kind!
Have you ever baked your brie? It’s like it becomes an entirely different cheese.
Truth talk: I’m not an huge fan of non-baked brie. As in, I prefer my brie baked, brandy-ed, fruited, and nutted.
If you’re not a fan of brie, I implore you to try baked brie. Whole other world out there.
As soon as that wheel bakes at 350 for 15 minutes, the game is on. AND ProTip. If you’re going to bake your brie, you may as well create a bonkers tasty topping to go with it.
Enter: Fig Spread.
I couldn’t be more obsessed.
Ingredients for Baked Brie:
Wheel of Brie: The main ingredient here! Pick up a 6-ounce wheel of brie of a brand you trust and love.
Fig Spread or Jam of Choice: Jam or fig spread adds a great deal of flavor and lusciousness with practically zero effort!
Raspberry jam, marmalade, and strawberry jam are all great options.
Pecans or Walnuts: For a little nutty crunch, we need some pecans or walnuts. For crunchier texture, toast or roast the nuts ahead of time or use pre-roasted nuts.
Brandy (Optional): I like mixing in a little booze because it adds unique flavor. Skip it if you aren’t into it.
For Serving: Pick up a baguette (or bread of choice) and toast it for a marvelous caravan for baked brie. I also like including a variety of crackers for those looking for a crunch.
Pick up gluten-free bread and/or gluten-free crackers for your gluten-free guests.
I’ve tried many-a-variation upon the baked brie situation, and lemme tell ya: fig spread’s where it’s at. So easy, so delectable. Dalmatia’s Original Fig Spread is my go-to for all the figgy things, and it seriously does wonders to baked brie!
Add brandy and nuts and you’re looking at holiday appetizer heaven. All the people will swoon!
How to Make Baked Brie:
If you’ve never made baked brie, it’s really easy.
Simply slice the rind off the top, and place the wheel of brie in an oven-safe dish.
Top it with your boozy fig and nut spread, and bake it for 12 to 15 minutes at 350.
I like to serve baked brie with apple slices, but you can also serve it with your favorite crackers.
The next time you’re entertaining guests, make this easy baked brie recipe!
Trust me, it will be gone in a flash!
