INGREDIENTS FOR BAKED BRIE WITH JAM

• Brie – The more the merrier when it comes to brie, so go for the large wheel. Sixteen ounces to be exact. Trust us — this appetizer is going to go fast. Be sure you check the expiration date before adding the Brie to your cart as it is a soft cheese and does not have quite as long of a shelf life as other cheeses. According to TheSpruce.com, the rind should look fresh and white, and you should beware of wet, slimy, or brown spots. 
• Fruit Spread or Jam – For Baked Brie with Jam, you can use any type of fruit jam or spread that you like! Featured here is apricot fruit spread, but you could also use raspberry, strawberry, or apple preserves! Love fruit and brie? Put Baked Brie with Apples on your recipe bucket list — an addictively yummy brie appetizer topped with cinnamon apples and walnuts, all smothered in a quick and easy caramel sauce. 
• Almonds – Almonds add both texture and flavor to your baked brie! However, you could sub in walnuts or pecans if you’d like.
• Honey

Ingredients

• 16 ounces Brie
• 4 tablespoons fruit spread (such as Apricot Jam)
• 3 tablespoons chopped whole almonds
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Pinch of Kosher salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400° and have ready a greased, small baking dish with 2-3 cup capacity.

2. If desired, use a sharp knife, remove the rind from the top and sides of Brie. Either place the brie in a brie baker whole or cut into 1/2” cubes and transfer to a small baking dish.

3. Spoon the jam or fruit spread across the brie and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle chopped almonds evenly across the top, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with salt.

4. Bake, uncovered, for 13-15 minutes, or until bubbly. Allow to cool slightly, serve and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

To make removing the rind easier, try placing the brie in the freezer for about 20 minutes before working with it.
