Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
  • Feel free to adjust, mix and match the toppings. Try a combination of fruits and nuts that you like.
  • Baking the jam on top of the brie caramelizes it. The nuts get toasty and crunchy.
  • Don't remove the rind: It's a shell that helps protect the brie . The creamy inside gets liquefied, but the crusty rind only gets a bit softer.
  • Speaking of a rind. You can eat the rind as well!
  • If you don't have a small baking dish, use the wooden crate the brie can in. Just line it with parchment paper and secure it by tying a cotton twin around it.
  • Don’t overbake: Brie should be soft and melty, not bubbling or broken.
  • Make it ahead: You can assemble it in the dish and refrigerate it until guests arrive, then pop it in the oven.
  • Serve it hot out of the oven: The baked brie is best served hot. If you want to keep it warm, after baking, place the dish on a small warming tray or serve with a tea light underneath if using a fondue-style server.
