Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 1 wheel of Brie cheese (about 8 ounces)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup fig jam
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
To Serve
- Sliced baguette or crackers
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the Brie later.
- Prepare the Brie: Unwrap the wheel of Brie cheese carefully and place it in a small baking dish suitable for oven use.
- Add Fig Jam: Using a spoon, spread the fig jam evenly all over the top surface of the Brie to infuse sweetness.
- Sprinkle Nuts: Evenly sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the fig jam layer for a crunchy texture contrast.
- Drizzle Honey and Rosemary: Drizzle the honey over the nuts, then sprinkle the finely chopped fresh rosemary on top to add a fragrant herbal note.
- Bake Brie: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the Brie is melted and bubbly around the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately with sliced baguette or crackers for dipping and spreading the warm, gooey cheese dip.
Notes
- Use fresh rosemary for the best herb flavor; dried rosemary can be substituted but use sparingly.
- You can substitute fig jam with other fruit preserves like apricot or raspberry for a different twist.
- Choose your preferred nuts: walnuts add richness, pecans provide a sweeter, buttery flavor.
- Serve as soon as possible after baking for optimal gooey texture.
- Leftover dip can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
