Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

1 wheel brie cheese 8–12 ounces
¼ to ⅓ cup fig jam
Optional toppings: chopped nuts fresh herbs, honey

Equipment

Oven-safe baking dish or small skillet
Parchment paper (optional)
Spoon or offset spatula
Serving board or platter

Method

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature warms the cheese evenly without breaking it.

Step 2: Prepare the Brie

Place the brie in a small oven-safe dish. Keep the rind intact for structure.

Step 3: Add the Fig Jam

Spoon fig jam directly onto the center of the brie. Spread gently, leaving a border.

Step 4: Bake

Bake until the center feels soft when pressed and the cheese visibly relaxes. Avoid overbaking.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Add optional toppings if desired. Serve immediately while warm and molten.
