Baked Fig and Brie

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 180°C (fan 160°C).

Step 2:

Prep the figs: Let the frozen figs sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes so they’re soft enough to halve, but still hold their shape.

Step 3:

Assemble: Place the brie wheel in a small ovenproof dish or on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Top with the halved figs, a drizzle of honey, cracked pepper, and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 4:

Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the brie is gooey and the figs are warmed through and starting to caramelise.

Step 5:

Garnish & serve: Drizzle with balsamic glaze and scatter fresh herbs over the top. Serve immediately with warm bread, crackers or crostini.
