Ingredients
-
1 wheel (about 8 oz / 225 g) Brie cheese
-
3–4 fresh figs, sliced (or use dried figs, rehydrated)
-
2 tbsp honey, plus extra for drizzling
-
¼ cup chopped pecans (toasted for deeper flavor)
-
1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves (optional, for aroma)
-
Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
-
Set your oven to 180°C / 350°F.
-
Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Brie
-
Place the Brie wheel on the parchment.
-
If you prefer, lightly score the top rind in a crisscross pattern to help the honey and figs soak in.
3. Add toppings
-
Arrange the sliced figs on top of the Brie.
-
Sprinkle over the toasted pecans and rosemary (if using).
-
Drizzle with honey generously.
4. Bake
-
Place in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the Brie is soft and gooey but not collapsed.
-
You’ll know it’s ready when the center feels soft to the touch.
5. Serve
-
Carefully transfer the Brie to a serving plate.
-
Drizzle with a little extra warm honey and a few fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish.
-
Serve immediately with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or apple wedges.
Chef’s Tips
-
For extra crunch, toast the pecans in a dry skillet for 2–3 minutes before using.
-
Swap figs for sliced pears, apples, or cranberries when out of season.
-
If you prefer a savory note, add a sprinkle of sea salt flakes before serving.
