Servings 10
Ingredients
- 12 ounces round brie
- ⅓ cup fig jam
- glazed pecans, for garnish
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to the center and preheat to 350F.
- Place the round of brie in a small cast iron skillet or oven-safe dish.
- Using a serrated knife, make parallel cuts across the top rind, spacing them about ½ inch apart, and cutting just through rind but not through the cheese. Then, turn the brie 90 degrees and score perpendicular to your initial set of cuts, keeping the same ½ inch spacing.
- Spread the jam over the brie.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is soft and just starting to ooze out.
- Remove from the oven and let the brie sit for 3 to 5 minutes or so. Garnish with glazed pecans. Serve with crackers, baguette, or sliced apples or pears.
