Notes
- Score the top of the Brie in a crisscross pattern before baking; it makes for a lovely presentation and easier dipping.
- Let the Brie sit for a few minutes after baking; it’ll be easier to spread (and won’t scald anyone).
- This appetizer isn’t overly sweet. If you want to amp it up, toss the figs in a teaspoon of brown sugar or drizzle a bit of honey over the Brie after it’s baked for an extra kiss of sweetness.
- For an added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts on top just before serving.
- Don’t shy away from fig jam if fresh figs aren’t available.
