Baked Brie with Fig Jam, Cranberries and Pecans
This easy baked brie with jam is irresistibly melty and topped with candied pecans, fig jam, dried cranberries, and fresh thyme for a simple but impressive but effortless entertaining appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 8- ounce round French-style brie
- ⅓ cup fig jam
- ⅓ cup sweetened dried cranberries
- ¼ cup candied or toasted pecans roughly chopped
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use a sharp knife to cut along the top inside edge of the round of brie, then remove the top rind. If the top is shaggy or uneven, don't worry, it will smooth as it bakes. Place the brie in a 6-8 ounce gratin baking dish or cast-iron pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Top the brie with fig jam, cranberries and the toasted pecans and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Serve hot with fruit and nut crackers, baguette or kettle chips.
