Baked Brie with Jam

Baked brie with jam is a warm, gooey brie wheel topped with sweet raspberry jam and crunchy pecans, baked until the cheese is melty in the center. Ready in just 20 minutes (5 minutes prep!), serves 8 people as an appetizer, and requires only 3 ingredients. Perfect for last-minute entertaining, holiday parties, or when you need an impressive appetizer that’s faster and easier than the puff pastry version.

I know the holidays are always very busy so I am here with a recipe for one of the easiest appetizers around.

Imagine rich melty cheese, topped with the sweetness of the jam, and crunchy nuts.

Perfect all by itself or make it the center of your charcuterie board. Want to leave out the jam? Make baked brie with honey, baked brie with pecans, or wrap the brie in puff pastry instead.

I love it so much I bake it in phyllo cups and switch up the flavors. Check out my raspberry brie cups and my apricot pistachio brie cups.

Brie Cheese

This delicious cheese comes from France originally but you can find it just about everywhere now.

It’s a creamy cheese, soft on the inside, and covered in an edible rind with a slightly tangy flavor.

Made from cow’s milk, it can be made with goat’s milk making it perfect to pair with some many things.

How to Make Baked Brie with Jam

First: Preheat the oven to 400F. Unwrap the round of brie and make a few little hash marks on the top of the wheel of brie.

Second: Place in an oven-safe baking dish or a cookie sheet. Cover with the jam and chopped nuts.

Third: Place the fresh herbs around the cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until very soft in the center.

Fourth: Remove and place on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Serve with your favorite crackers, grapes, apples, and bread slices.

How long does it last?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheat in the oven or microwave in short intervals until melted again.

Do you remove the rind from brie cheese before baking?

The brie rind is edible but if you prefer to remove it that is a personal preference.

If you want to remove it just trim it off the top of the cheese and leave the sides and bottom.

This will contain the cheese from spreading all over the dish.

What jam goes best with brie cheese?

I prefer a tart or sour jam like raspberry or cherry but feel free to use a sweet jam like fig or apricot jam.

Basically any flavor of jam or fruit spread that you like.

Do you have to bake brie before eating?

Most of the time I serve it, I bake it to make it all melty and spread it on crackers.

But you can serve it cold. I like to slice it and place it on sandwiches.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

• If using a smaller dish, line with parchment paper so you can remove it to a larger serving tray.
• Use a full wheel or smaller wedge of brie.
• Bring the brie to room temperature before baking.
• You can leave the top on the brie just cut hashmarks in the top with a sharp knife.
• Want to keep it savory, try it with tomato bacon jam or caramelized onions.
• Wrap in a puff pastry sheet for more flavor and texture. Or substitute crescent roll dough.

This Baked Brie Appetizer is is perfect for serving during the busy holiday season. Top with strawberry jam, raspberry jam, or simply maple syrup.
