Notes
Success tips. Make sure to give plenty of time for the brie to warm up in the oven. You'll want to have gooey melty cheese coming out on the plate once you slice it open.
Serving ideas. To serve this baked brie with jam, use crostini, mini sourdough toasts, or your favorite crackers instead of the fruits.
Cheese variations. Most brie is made out of cow's milk; you can buy goat milk brie, which has a milder flavor.
Toppings variations. Instead of pecans and fig jam, serve with different nuts like walnuts, almonds, pistachios. Top baked brie with sliced fresh figs, lingonberry jam, drizzle with honey, the sky is limit here.
Dietary tips. To keep this dish refined sugar-free, use jam sweetened with fruit juice. To keep it gluten-free, serve with sliced fruits like pears or apples instead of crackers.
