    This Baked Brie with Fig Jam is gooey, sweet and salty all at the same time.  Perfect on salty crackers or sweet apples and takes moments to make. {gluten free}

    baked brie with crackers and apples

    I am in practicing for the holidays mode.  I hate serving new recipes to guests so I always try them out first.  We host a lot of family and friends over the next three months so I need easy, no fail appetizers.

    Here is the perfect one→ Baked Brie with Fig Jam.

    I suggest you buy the fig jam and pecans the next time you are at the market. That way when you plan to entertain last minute, you will only have to pick up a round of brie.  

    I always keep crackers for spreading and fun cocktail napkins in case we have an impromptu neighborhood bash.

    I also love this Pomegranate Cranberry Baked Brie for a quick holiday appetizer.

    This Baked Brie with Fig Jam is sweet from the jam and salty from the pecans.  The orange zest gives it just a hint of orange flavor and makes it that much more interesting.

    It tastes best when fresh out of the oven, but you won't have to worry about it lasting long; it's that good.   I like to bake it on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.  That way, when it's done, I just lift up the parchment sheet and place it on a serving plate.  It looks pretty too.

    Did you know they sell parchment and foil sheets at the dollar store?  They are awesome.  They are pre-cut into these perfect rectangles so I don't have to wrangle with stubborn parchment that keeps rolling up on me.

    What would you do without all my life changing tips?

    What Can I Put on Top of Baked Brie?  

    • maple syrup & pecans
    • blueberry or blackberry compote
    • roasted garlic & honey
    • apple crisp topping
    • cranberry chutney & pistachios
    • sauteed prosciutto cubes & peaches
    • artichokes, pesto & sun-dried tomatoes
    • cherry tomatoes and basil
    • strawberries & honey

    So let's be prepared for the holidays this year.  Let's stock that pantry with easy appetizer staples that will help us entertain in a pinch.  Don't be afraid to invite friends and family over.  It's okay if you don't have time to clean the house from top to bottom or if your kitchen smells like a new puppy (that's me).  Relax and enjoy.

        I think that would be delicious on top of brie. Maybe sprinkle with dried cranberries, hazelnuts or pistachios and serve with apples, pita chips or crostini.

      Do you prepare the brie - cut off rind, etc.

      Should I use double or triple cream brie, or does it not matter? Thanks!
