Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
8–10 oz Brie wheel (room temperature preferred)
¼ cup fig jam (or apricot preserves)
¼ cup pecans or walnuts, chopped and lightly toasted
1 tablespoon honey (optional but recommended)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or rosemary)
Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and position rack in the center.
Let Brie sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before baking for even melting.
Unwrap Brie and place in a small baking dish or oven-safe wooden box. Keep the rind intact to hold the cheese together.
Score the top in a crisscross pattern, about ¼-inch deep, to allow jam to soak in.
Spread fig jam evenly over the top. Sprinkle chopped pecans, drizzle with honey, and scatter fresh thyme.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the center is soft and jiggly. Do not overbake (no more than 20 minutes total).
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh apple wedges.
Notes
Toast pecans in a dry skillet for 2–3 minutes to enhance flavor.
Swap in cranberry sauce, maple syrup, or wrap the Brie in puff pastry for a variation.
Assemble up to 24 hours in advance and bake just before serving.
Use the wooden box if oven-safe for rustic presentation.
