Baked Brie with Fig Jam and Pecans

Description

Indulge in gooey Baked Brie with sweet Fig Jam and crunchy Pecans. Easy, elegant, perfect for entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8-ounce/226g) wheel of Brie cheese (room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) fig jam (high-quality store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/3 cup (37g) pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
  • Crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices for serving

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Brie Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take your room-temperature Brie and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.
  2. Step 2: Add Your Toppings Spoon the fig jam evenly over the top of the Brie wheel, gently spreading it to cover the entire surface. Scatter the chopped pecans over the jam, pressing them lightly so they adhere. Drizzle the honey over everything, allowing it to naturally cascade down the sides. If you’re using the optional thyme leaves and orange zest, sprinkle them over the top now for an aromatic finish.
  3. Step 3: Bake to Perfection Slide your prepared Brie with Fig Jam and Pecans into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. You’re looking for the cheese to become soft and slightly puffy, with the jam beginning to caramelize and the pecans toasting to a golden brown. The Brie shouldn’t completely collapse – it should maintain its shape while being soft enough that a knife cuts through it effortlessly.
  4. Step 4: Serve Immediately Transfer your bubbling creation to a serving platter, surrounding it with crackers, sliced baguette, or apple slices. For maximum impact, bring the entire setup to the table and cut into it while your guests watch the glorious molten interior spill out. The Baked Brie should be enjoyed while still warm, when the contrast between the gooey center and the sweet, nutty topping is at its peak.
