Honey Drizzled Brie with Figs and Walnuts: Irresistible Favorite

Honey Drizzled Brie with Figs and Walnuts is a dish that brings me right back to my grandmother’s kitchen. That’s where my love for food started with seasonal ingredients, cozy gatherings, and the scent of something warm coming out of the oven. Fall was our favorite season. We’d pick figs from the backyard tree, crack walnuts by hand, and drizzle honey from a jar that seemed to last all year. This recipe is inspired by those moments simple, nostalgic, and full of flavor.

Whether you’re entertaining or just treating yourself, this appetizer is a go-to for its creamy, sweet, and nutty combination. It’s quick, elegant, and always makes people ask for the recipe.

Instructions

3. Top with figs: Arrange them evenly on top of the cheese.
4. Sprinkle walnuts over the figs, letting some fall around the edges.

Notes

Use high-quality brie for best results, toast your walnuts for extra flavor, and serve immediately while warm. Don’t overbake—it should be soft, not runny.

Pro Tips for Success

• Don’t overbake the brie. You want it soft and gooey, not fully melted and runny.
• Use a runny honey for easy drizzling and sweet contrast to the creamy cheese.
• Toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes to bring out their natural oils and flavor.
• Add a touch of sea salt just before serving to enhance all the flavors.

Brie’s rich flavor pairs well with seasonal drinks. Try it with a light red wine or apple cider. For a full fall board, serve with Zucchini Brownies or Apple Pumpkin Streusel Muffins.

Flavorful Variations to Try

This dish is super flexible. Here are a few ways to switch it up without losing its charm:

• Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free crackers or apple slices instead of bread.
• Vegan-Friendly: Substitute with a dairy-free brie alternative and maple or agave syrup.
• Sweet & Spicy Twist: Add a drizzle of hot honey or a sprinkle of chili flakes.
• Fruity Upgrade: Mix in dried cranberries or thinly sliced pears for extra depth.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, here’s how to keep them tasting great:

• Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a 325°F oven for 5–7 minutes until warmed through.
• Avoid freezing: Brie doesn’t thaw well and can become grainy.

You can spread leftover cheese on toast or fold it into a warm sandwich with turkey and arugula. It also makes a great topping for roasted vegetables or baked sweet potatoes.
