Equipment

Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Small Knife
Spatula
Serving platter

Ingredients

8 ounces soft ripened Brie cheese whole wheel
1 ounce fig jam or fig spread about 1 ½ tablespoons
3 tablespoons pecans (10-12 halves) chopped
1 sprig fresh rosemary chopped, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon honey
crackers, sliced baguette, or crostini for serving

Instructions

Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Turn the heat off and stir in the fig jam with the chopped rosemary. Remove the pecan topping from the pan and set aside.
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the Brie on a parchment-lined small baking dish or sheet. Lightly score the top rind in a crosshatch (or trim it off) so it opens easily.
Bake until soft and gooey in the center (about 12-15 minutes). Rest 1–2 minutes.
Spoon the warm pecan-fig mixture over the Brie, drizzle with honey, and serve right away with crackers or sliced baguette.
