Ingredients

Cheese

  • 1 wheel (about 7 ounces) Brie cheese

Fruit and Nuts

  • 1 cup dried figs, chopped
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Sweetener

  • 1/4 cup honey

Herbs

  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Accompaniments

  • 1 baguette or assorted crackers

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the Brie.
  2. Prepare the Brie: Place the Brie wheel in the center of a shallow, oven-safe baking dish to ensure even heating.
  3. Mix Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped dried figs, honey, chopped pecans, and finely chopped rosemary, stirring thoroughly to blend the flavors.
  4. Top the Brie: Evenly spread the fig, honey, and pecan mixture over the top surface of the Brie wheel, covering it completely to infuse the cheese with sweet and nutty notes while baking.
  5. Bake Brie: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the Brie is soft and just starting to ooze, indicating it is perfectly warmed and melty.
  6. Serve Immediately: Remove from the oven and serve right away with slices of baguette or assorted crackers to enjoy the warm, gooey cheese and flavorful topping at its best.

Notes

  • Use fresh rosemary for the best aromatic flavor; dried rosemary can be used but reduce quantity to 1 teaspoon.
  • For a more rustic presentation, leave some of the fig and pecan pieces larger.
  • Brie can be served with gluten-free crackers for gluten-free diets.
  • Adjust honey quantity for desired sweetness level.
  • Make sure to serve Brie warm, as it tastes best melted and oozing.
