Recipe courtesy Big Mill B&B
Printable recipe courtesy Inn Cuisine


Yield: about 1 dozen or more servings
  • 1 wedge of Brie cheese (about 16 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
  • 1/2 pint warm fig preserves (1 cup)
  • 1 box (4 & 1/2 ounces) Carr’s Table Water Crackers or similar plain crackers
Unwrap and remove Brie from refrigerator several hours before serving; place in a warm spot so that cheese will be soft. Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees F. Spread slivered almonds on a small rimmed baking sheet and toast for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring and tossing often; remove from oven, cool and reserve. To serve, place Brie on a serving plate and pour preserves on top of the cheese. Preserves will run over the sides and onto the serving dish. Sprinkle toasted almonds on top and serve with plain water crackers like Carr’s.
