Tips and Tricks

Score the top of the Brie in a crisscross pattern before baking; it makes for a lovely presentation and easier dipping.
Let the Brie sit for a few minutes after baking; it’ll be easier to spread (and won’t scald anyone).
This appetizer isn’t overly sweet. If you want to amp it up, toss the figs in a teaspoon of brown sugar or drizzle a bit of honey over the Brie after it’s baked for an extra kiss of sweetness.
For an added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts on top just before serving.
Don’t shy away from fig jam if fresh figs aren’t available.
