There’s no other way to say this…

Melted cheese.

Major thing.

I’m of the belief that cheese is 200x better when it’s melted. Anyone else with me on the melty cheese front? And mixed with fruity fig spread? Ugh just stop granting me wishes, life…you are just so kind!

Have you ever baked your brie?  It’s like it becomes an entirely different cheese.

Truth talk: I’m not an uuuuuge fan of non-baked brie. As in, I prefer my brie baked, brandy-ed, fruited, and nutted.

If you’re not a fan of brie, I implore you to try baked brie. Whole ‘nother world out there.

As soon as that wheel bakes at 350 for 15 minutes, the game is on. AND – #ProTip – if you’re going to bake your brie, you may as well create a bonkers tasty topping to go with it.

Enter: Fig Spread.

I couldn’t be more obsessed.

Baked Brie with Boozy Fig Spread and Pecans

I’ve tried many-a-variation upon the baked brie situation, and lemme tell ya: fig spread’s where it’s at. So easy, so delectable. Dalmatia’s Original Fig Spread is my go-to for all the figgy things, and it seriously does wonders to baked brie!

You can also use Dalmatia’s Orange Fig Spread for a little something special. Add brandy and nuts and you’re looking at holiday appetizer heaven. All the people will swoon!

How to Make Baked Brie:

If you’ve never made baked brie, it’s really easy.

You simply slice the rind off the top, place it in an oven-safe dish, top it with your boozy fig and nut spread, and bake it for 12 to 15 minutes at 350. I like to serve baked brie with apple slices, but you can also serve it with your favorite crackers.

Figure out if the web hosting company goes offline quite often. It is not always easy to be sure which type of web hosting will bring out the best in your website. With hosting, you are able to own and operate your website online and this is quite important.

Aw man, I LOVE baked brie with fig jam :) I've never cut off the top though- we usually spread jam on top (sometimes with minced rosemary) wrap it in phyllo dough and bake it- super delish!

That sounds phenom! I've never tried the phyllo dough version and have heard so many wonderful things about it. I'll have to give it a go with the rosemary!

I seriously ate this exact mix of ingredients (minus the booze) when I was in New York two weeks ago. My sister and our friends hit up Whole Foods for a before-our-11pm-dinner-reservation snack and this is what we picked up. That fig spread is magical and it was gone too fast.
