Fig Jam Baked Brie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Core Elements

01 - 1 round of Brie (8-10 oz)
02 - 1/4 cup figgy preserve

→ Extra Garnishes

03 - 1/4 cup broken pecan or walnut pieces
04 - 1 tablespoon runny honey
05 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme sprigs

→ Accompaniments

06 - Grab some crackers, torn baguette chunks, or sliced fruit

# Instructions:

01 - Warm up your oven to 350°F (175°C) before you begin.
02 - Unwrap your brie completely. You can use the wooden container it might come in as a cute serving vessel. No box? Just grab a small oven-safe dish instead.
03 - Take a knife and lightly slice diagonal lines across the top in both directions. This lets your toppings sink into the cheese as it warms up.
04 - Smear the figgy preserve all over the marked cheese top. Now's when you can sprinkle on nuts, add thyme bits, or drizzle some honey if you want.
05 - Stick it in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. You'll know it's done when you touch it gently and feel the middle getting soft and gooey.
06 - Let it sit for 5 minutes so you don't burn yourself, then put it out with your chosen dippers.

# Notes:

01 - Tastes amazing when it's still all melty and warm
02 - You can get everything ready earlier and just pop it in the oven when your friends show up
