Baked Brie with Honey
Baked Brie with Honey and Figs is an impressive appetizer that is super easy to throw together. It's takes 5 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to bake and you just need a couple of ingredients. The warm melty cheese combined with crunchy nuts and warm figs is so delicious served with crackers or toasted bread for the best holiday appetizer while you're waiting for your Spatchcock Turkey to roast.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- salt
- 1 brie wheel
- 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
- 1/4 cup pistachio chopped
- 5 to 6 green fig quartered, or purple fig
- 2 to 3 thyme fresh, sprigs
- lices bread for serving, or crackers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, add a few pinches of salt to the honey and mix until combined.
- Place the wheel of brie in the center of the baking dish. Pour the nuts on top of the brie. Drizzle with the honey and top with the sliced figs and thyme sprigs.
- Transfer to the oven to bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve with crackers or slices of bread.
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.
