No reviews

With just a few minutes of prep and a very short ingredient list, this Baked Brie with Fig Jam is one of the easiest yet most impressive appetizers. It is perfect for holiday entertaining as a stand alone appetizer or as part of a large appetizer buffet.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 wheel of Brie cheese with rind (the one pictured here was 16 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup of fig jam
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • crackers, fruits, and nuts for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 
  2. Place brie in a parchment lined dish that has space for the brie as well as crackers, fruits, etc. if you are planning to serve it all in the same dish like I did. I used a 10 inch fluted pie plate for a 7 inch, 16 ounce circle of brie.
  3. With a sharp paring knife, make a criss cross pattern in the top of the brie. Top with fig jam and chopped rosemary. Bake in preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until cheese is very soft.
  4. Remove from oven and surround brie with crackers, fruits, nuts, etc. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes before serving so the cheese is not too liquid or too hot for guests.

Notes

The size of the wheel of brie really doesn't matter too much. They seem to range anywhere from 7-16 ounces and it all depends on how many people you are feeding. Scale this up or down depending and you can easily make more than 1 in a larger baking dish.
