Description
This Classic Baked Brie with Fig Jam and Pecans is the ultimate cozy fall appetizer creamy, flaky, nutty, and just the right amount of sweet. Perfect for entertaining or a quiet night with wine.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 round (8 oz) of brie cheese
- 3 tablespoons fig jam
- ¼ cup pecans, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay puff pastry flat and place brie round in the center. Spoon fig jam over the top and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Fold pastry over the brie, trimming excess if needed, and pinch to seal. Flip so smooth side is facing up.
- Brush the top with beaten egg. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until deep golden brown.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow cheese to set.
Notes
Use a wheel of mild, creamy brie and avoid overbaking. Chill pastry if it gets too soft while assembling. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve with apple slices or crackers.
