Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons fig jam* divided
- ⅓ cup pitted dates or dried mission figs sliced
- ⅓ cup shelled pistachios roughly chopped (other nut options: pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, or a mix)
- 1 teaspoon fresh Rosemary finely chopped
- 12-16 ounce round French brie scored on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Score the top of the brie in a crisscross pattern and place it in a small cast iron skillet or oven-safe serving dish.
- Warm the fig jam: Place the fig jam in a microwave-safe dish and microwave for 30 seconds to soften.
- Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine the sliced dried figs, rosemary, and chopped nuts. Add half of the fig jam to the mixture and stir to coat everything evenly.
- Assemble and bake: Place the prepared brie (in the skillet or dish) on a baking sheet to catch any overflow. Spoon the nut and fig mixture on top of the scored brie. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the brie is soft and melty.
- Let it rest: Remove the brie from the oven and let it sit for 3-5 minutes to settle. Optional: Drizzle some honey and sprinkle a little flake sea salt on top just before serving.
- Serve: Serve warm with your favorite crackers, fruits like sliced apples and pears, or grapes.

Notes
- *You can substitute the fig jam with apricot or raspberry jam for a fun flavor variation! Or even add a drizzle of honey before serving for extra sweetness. This simple yet sophisticated dish will be a hit at any gathering!
- TIPS
- Score the Brie: Lightly score the top of the brie in a crisscross pattern to help the cheese melt evenly and prevent it from bursting in the oven.
- Use Room-Temperature Brie: Let the brie sit out for about 15-20 minutes before baking. This helps it bake evenly and melt more smoothly.
- Don't Overbake: Bake until the brie is soft and gooey but still holds its shape (about 10-15 minutes). Overbaking can cause it to become too runny.
- Add Toppings After Baking: For a fresher, more vibrant flavor, you can add delicate toppings like herbs or honey after baking.
- Use a Baking Sheet: Place your baking dish or skillet on a sheet pan to catch any melted cheese or toppings that might spill over.
- Serve Warm: Baked brie is best served right out of the oven when it's soft and creamy. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
