Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Notes

  • For best results, allow the Brie to come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before baking.
  • The Brie rind is completely edible and helps maintain the cheese’s shape during baking.
  • If fresh figs aren’t available, substitute with 3-4 tablespoons of fig jam.
  • Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods.
