Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz. wheel of Brie
  • 3 tablespoons fig jam
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
  • 1-2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • crostini, crackers, sliced baguette for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  2. Place wheel of brie on a parchment lined baking sheet, leaving it in the wooden container (if it came in one).
  3. Slice a crosshatch pattern across the top of the brie. 
  4. Spread fig jam across the top of the wheel of brie.
  5. Add pistachios and thyme.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until gooey and melty inside. Use a spoon to gently press on the top of the rind to feel if it is melted inside.
  7. Serve with sliced crusty French baguette, crackers, or crostini.

Notes

  • For this baked brie recipe, we leave the brie in the wooden container that it comes in. This helps the brie to hold its shape after it’s baked and served.
  • If your brie didn’t come in a wooden container, you can place it directly onto the parchment lined baking sheet or in a small cast iron skillet. Once the rind of the brie is broken, the melty cheese will spread quickly. This is why the wooden container is nice because it prevents the cheese from spreading.
  • Don’t overbake the brie. It’s not the end of the world if you leave it in the oven for too long but it will get SUPER DUPER melty if it’s in the oven for longer than 10 minutes. You want to melt the brie just so it’s creamy but not soupy.
  • If the nuts seem to be browning too quickly in the oven, place a sheet of tin foil over the cheese and continue baking. This will slow the browning process.
