Sweet, savory, creamy, crunchy, and just a little spicy! This ridiculously easy appetizer looks like something from a gourmet restaurant but comes together in about 20 minutes. Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas parties, holiday gatherings, or anytime you want to impress your guests without spending hours in the kitchen!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12-15 minutes
Total Time: 20-25 minutes
Servings: 6-8
Ingredients
- 1 wheel (8-12 oz) Brie cheese
- ½ cup State 28 Farm Cranberry Jalapeño Jam
- ½ cup candied pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
- Buttery crackers, crostini, or sliced baguette for serving
- Fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
1 - Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a small baking dish or baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 - Prepare the Brie
Remove all packaging, but leave the edible white rind intact. Place the Brie on the parchment. For extra creaminess, lightly score the top rind in a shallow crosshatch pattern.
3 - Bake Until Gooey
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese feels soft in the center when gently pressed. Larger wheels may need another 2-3 minutes.
4 - Warm the Jam
While the Brie bakes, gently warm ½ cup of State 28 Farm Cranberry Jalapeño Jam in a small saucepan over low heat for 1-2 minutes, just until spoonable. Do not boil.
5 - Add the Delicious Toppings
Carefully transfer the warm Brie to a serving platter. Generously spoon the cranberry jalapeño jam over the top, allowing it to naturally ooze down the sides. Sprinkle generously with candied pecans and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
6 - Make It Beautiful
Garnish with fresh rosemary and a few cranberries. Surround with buttery crackers or toasted baguette slices.
7 - Serve Immediately!
Cut into the warm Brie and let that creamy, melted cheese mingle with the sweet and spicy jam and crunchy candied pecans.
A Few Delicious Tips
- Make it extra gooey - Serve the Brie warm, immediately after baking.
- Keep those pecans crunchy - Add the candied pecans just before serving.
- Prepare ahead - Arrange your serving platter and prepare your toppings in advance. Bake the Brie right before guests arrive.
- Try toasted crostini - Lightly butter baguette slices and toast until golden.
- Add a little extra heat - For guests who enjoy spicy foods, add a few finely diced fresh jalapeños to the topping.
