How to Make Baked Brie with Fig Jam

Baked Brie is simply toasted bread with perfectly melted cheese and your favorite toppings. Check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for more detailed instructions.

For toasted French bread

• Prepare the oven. Preheat oven to 400F. Arrange French bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• bake. Lightly spray French bread slices with cooking spray. This helps them get crispy. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slices are golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.

Prepare brie cheese

• Prepare baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Do not use foil as it will stick.
• Rate it Place brie rounds on lined baking sheet. Use a knife to make some shallow slits (scores) into the top of the brie to help it absorb the flavor.

• Add sweetness. Drizzle the raw honey evenly over the brie.
• spread jam. Spread the fig sauce evenly over the brie.

• Bake it. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. It should be soft and sticky.
• Add ingredients. Remove it from the oven. Add chopped walnuts, fresh rosemary, and chives on top for extra flavor and appearance. Drizzle with more honey if you like. Serve and enjoy.

Tips for success

If you follow these tips and tricks, you’ll make any baked brie appetizer look like it was made by a Michelin-starred chef.

• Place it in a wheel and bake. Brie can be baked in the bottom of a wooden package, as long as the ends are sealed with staples rather than glue. If there’s a lot of plastic or stickers on the base, it’s best not to bake it in the package as it can melt or burn.
• Leave the rind on. Some people like to remove the rind from brie cheese. Never do this with baked brie without puff pastry or you’ll just end up with a glob of melted cheese.
• Cover it. If the cheese starts to brown around the edges or on top, cover it with foil for the remainder of the baking time so it doesn’t burn.
• Pay attention to the time. Set a timer on your phone so you don’t forget to take the cheese out of the oven. Baking it for too long will make it rubbery.

Can this be prepared in advance?

Yes, but if you want super gooey brie, don’t bake it before serving. Bake the French bread 3 days in advance and store in an airtight container. As for the cheese, score it, add honey and jam, and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Pop it in the oven before guests arrive for the best texture.

Store correctly

Once completely cooled, place in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days. Keep it away from strong-smelling foods like onions to avoid odor transfer. To reheat, place in the microwave for one minute or until hot. You can also heat in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
