There’s nothing quite like Honey Fig Baked Brie—a dish that’s effortlessly elegant yet incredibly easy to make. Whether you’re hosting a party, celebrating a holiday, or just craving something indulgent, this warm, gooey Brie is the perfect choice. The combination of creamy cheese, sweet fig preserves, crunchy pistachios, and a drizzle of honey creates a flavor explosion that’s both sweet and savory. Plus, it only takes minutes to prepare, making it ideal for last-minute gatherings.
Did you know that Brie cheese dates back to at least the 8th century in France? Often called the “Queen of Cheeses,” Brie was once reserved for royalty before becoming a worldwide favorite. Today, it’s a staple on cheese boards, but baking it takes its rich, buttery texture to another level.
Even better, this no-pastry baked Brie lets the flavors shine without any extra fuss. Serve it with crackers or sliced baguette, and watch it disappear in minutes! Whether you’re a cheese lover or just want an impressive appetizer with minimal effort, this recipe is a must-try. Let’s bake!
Recipe Yield: 4–6 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 (8 oz) wheel Brie cheese
¼ cup fig preserves (or berry preserves)
1 tbsp honey (plus extra for drizzling)
2 tbsp finely chopped pistachios
Pinch of flaky sea salt
Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking dish or sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Brie: Place the Brie wheel on the parchment-lined baking dish. Spread fig preserves evenly over the top. Drizzle with 1 tbsp honey, then sprinkle with chopped pistachios and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
3. Bake until gooey: Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the Brie is soft and melty in the center. The pistachios will toast naturally on top—no pre-toasting needed!
4. Serve warm: Carefully transfer the Brie to a serving plate. Drizzle with extra honey and serve immediately with crackers or sliced baguette.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Let the nuts toast in the oven. No need to pre-toast—the heat will naturally bring out their crunch and aroma.
- Watch the baking time! Overbaking can cause the cheese to become too runny. Keep it soft but scoopable.
- Swap the preserves for variety. Try blackberry, cherry, or apricot for a fun flavor twist!
