Notes

  • This recipe is simple to adapt depending on how many people you want to serve. Use a larger 16 ounce wheel of Brie to feed a crowd. Aim for at least 2 ounces of cheese per person.
  • You do not need to cut the rind from the Brie however, if you want to remove it you can so so and achieve a similar result.
  • For convenience, we recommend you bake your Brie in the baking dish you intend to serve it in. A deep dish slightly bigger than the Brie itself is the most suitable and means you can fit extra pecans and figs around the edges of the Brie.
  • We baked the Brie for 20 minutes which turns it into a quick and easy fondue and completely melts it. If you want the Brie to retain its shape reduce the baking time by 10 minutes.
  • The pecans add some nice texture and lovely crunch to this appetizer. You can use any nuts you like. Walnuts and pistachios also work well.
  • Serve with baguette slices and your favorite crackers. Turn the Brie Fondue into a visually appealing platter by adding fruit like grapes and fresh green herbs such as rosemary and thyme.
