Choosing Your Brie
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!
