- 1 wheel of brie (8 oz or 12 oz)

- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
- Crackers or crostini for serving

- Heat to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet or small baking dish with parchment paper.
- Remove packaging and place the brie wheel on parchment. Optionally score the top rind lightly in a crisscross pattern.
- Spread the fig jam generously over the top of the brie.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts, add a pinch of cinnamon, and drizzle honey if using.
- Bake 12–15 minutes, or until softened but not bursting.
- Let cool 3–5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Surround with crackers, bread, fruit, or berries.
Notes
- Use full-fat brie for the creamiest texture.
- Swap fig jam for apricot, raspberry, cranberry, or blackberry preserves.
- Add nuts before baking for toasted flavor or after baking for extra crunch.
- Fresh rosemary enhances aroma—add after baking.
