Ingredients
You’ll need just two simple ingredients to make this easy appetizer – brie and fig jam!
- Brie – Look for an 8-ounce wheel of brie. It needs to be a whole wheel or all of the cheese will ooze out if you try to bake a wedge of brie.

- Bread – Serve the fig jam and brie with a variety of baguette slices, crostini, and/or a variety of crackers.
- Extras – There are many ways to add some extra flavor and texture to your baked brie – try chopped nuts like walnuts, almonds, pecans, or pistachios.
How to Bake Brie with Jam
Ok, let’s get to this baked brie with fig jam recipe! Here’s how we make it:
- Prep brie. Slice a thin, thin, THIN layer of the rind off of the top of the brie. This part is technically edible, but I like to scrape it off. You could skip this step, but I like to remove it, which will also make it easier to scoop out the cheesy goodness later.
- Top brie with fig jam. Spread the jam on the top of the brie so that it evenly covers the cheese.
- Bake brie. Place wheel of brie in a baking dish or baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake until cheese is gooey and melty.
- Serve. Serve brie baked with jam with a variety of bread, crostini, and/or crackers.
Storage Instructions
This baked brie appetizer with jam is best served immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
How to reheat
Reheat brie in a 350 degrees F oven until hot and melty again.
