Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8-ounce) wheel of Brie cheese (keep the rind on)
- 1/4 cup fig jam or fig spread
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional garnish)
- Slices of baguette or assorted crackers for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking sheet or an oven-safe skillet with parchment paper to prevent the cheese from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Place the wheel of Brie in the center of the prepared baking sheet. You can lightly score the top of the rind with a knife in a crosshatch pattern if you want the jam to seep into the cheese, but it is not strictly necessary.
- Carefully spread the fig jam over the top of the Brie wheel. Evenly sprinkle the chopped pecans over the jam, pressing them down slightly so they stay in place. Drizzle the entire wheel with the tablespoon of honey.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The cheese should feel very soft to the touch, and the jam and honey should be bubbling slightly. Be careful not to overbake, or the cheese may burst through the rind and flatten out completely.
- Remove the Brie from the oven. If desired, garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for a pop of color and aroma. Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey with baguette slices or crackers.
