I like to share recipes for easy appetizers like this Baked Brie & Fig because I think they're always so useful to have on hand. We love to entertain and I'm always looking for new and interesting foods to serve my friends. I also use a lot of these in my catering business. It keeps it fresh for my clients when they have new and delicious recipes for them to choose from.
This is a classic recipe I've given a Mediterranean twist. I take a wheel of fresh brie and top it with fig jam, nuts, and honey. You can easily use store-bought jam, but I love using my homemade version when I have the time to make it! Then, I wrap it in a sheet of puff pastry to bake.
This looks great when you use a decorate brie baker if you have one on hand. If you don't, any kind of attractive baking dish will work well. It's best to serve this while it's still hot from the oven so don't bake it until right before the party. If you're short on time you can prepare the wheel in advanced and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to bake it.
This delicious Baked Brie with Fig is bound to be a recipe you return to over and over. I hope you enjoy it at your next soirée!
Baked Brie with Fig
This delicious brie is savory and sweet with a lovely texture from the chopped nut. It’s ideal for serving a crowd and always looks wonderful on a grazing table!
Ingredients:
1 8-12 ounces wheel of Brie cheese
1 sheet puff pastry (optional for a wrapped version)
1/4 cup fig jam (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds), toasted
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Optional: fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish
Crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices for serving
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Place the Brie in the center of puff pastry. Spread the fig jam on top and sprinkle it with nuts. Fold the pastry over the cheese, sealing it completely.
Make an egg wash by beating one egg with a little water and brush it all over the pastry.
Bake the brie for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool 5 minutes, then serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or anything else for serving.
