Baked brie is a delicious, gooey appetizer that’s perfect for sharing.

To make the most of it, choosing the right brie is key.

Ingredients:

  • One wheel of brie cheese
  • Fig jam or your favorite jam
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary
  • Optional toppings: nuts, such as pecans or walnuts

When shopping for brie, look for a creamy brie with a soft and light texture.

Don’t be afraid of the brie rind.

Though it might seem odd, it’s edible and adds a lovely earthiness to the snack.

A small wheel of around 6-8 ounces is usually perfect for a brie appetizer.

It melts evenly and is easy to handle.

You can use either a baking dish or even a microwave for quick prep.

If baking, preheat your oven between 375°F to 400°F.

Spoon your chosen jam on top of the brie.

Add a sprinkle of nuts and fresh herbs for extra flavor.

This simple yet elegant dish pairs well with fruit crackers, sliced baguette, or even chips for dipping.

Enjoy!
