# Needed Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 round of Brie (8-10 oz)
02 -
1/4 cup fruity fig spread
→ Optional Toppings
03 -
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
04 -
1 tablespoon runny honey
05 -
1 teaspoon stripped thyme leaves
→ For Serving
06 -
Crackers, sliced French bread, or seasonal fruits of your choice
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Crank your oven up to 350°F (175°C) so it's ready to go.
02 -
Unwrap your brie completely. You can use its wooden container as a serving vessel if it came in one. Otherwise, grab a small oven-safe dish for it.
03 -
Take a knife and lightly slice a diamond pattern across the brie's top surface. This lets the sweet spread sink into the cheese as it warms up.
04 -
Smear the fig spread over your diamond-cut brie. Sprinkle on any extras like nuts, fresh herbs, or a honey drizzle if you want them.
05 -
Stick it in the hot oven for about 15-20 minutes. You'll know it's done when the middle feels squishy if you press it gently.
06 -
Give it 5 minutes to cool down a bit (melted cheese burns are no fun!). Then put it out with your breads, crackers, or fruit for dipping.
