Ingredients
  

Baked Brie Wheel
  • 1 wheel (8 oz) quality double-cream French brie cheese rind left intact
  • 1/3 cup sweet Adriatic fig jam or fig preserves
  • 1/2 cup pecan halves roughly chopped and toasted
  • 2 tbsp pure wildflower honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt Maldon or fleur de sel
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Serving Accompaniments
  • 1 loaf artisan French baguette sliced and lightly toasted
  • 1 box crisp sea salt water crackers or artisan crostini
  • 1 firm Honeycrisp apple or Bosc pear thinly sliced into half-moons

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small rimmed baking sheet or small cast-iron skillet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the whole 8-ounce brie wheel into the prepared skillet. Using a sharp paring knife, score a gentle shallow crosshatch pattern across the top rind (do not cut through to the bottom).
  3. Spread the fig jam generously across the scored top of the brie wheel, ensuring it reaches just shy of the outer edge.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is completely soft and puffed, and the center gives under gentle pressure.
  5. While the brie bakes, toast pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned.
  6. Carefully remove the bubbling brie from the oven. Scatter the warm toasted pecans and fresh chopped rosemary across the melting fig jam. Drizzle with pure wildflower honey and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and cracked pepper.
  7. Serve immediately while warm and gooey with toasted baguette slices, artisan crackers, and crisp apple wedges!
