Baked Brie with Fig Jam

Here is a super easy, super yummy, four step appetizer. A large wheel is great to take to a party.

1. Remve large brie wheel from wrapper.
2. Slice skin off of top of cheese gently, this creates a "shelf" where the jam will sit.
3. Spread fig jam on cheese.
4. Bake at 375 for 15 mins until cheese is bubbly.
5. Serve with multigrain or wholegrain crackers.
This cheese is a flavorful indulgence. It is great eaten in moderation.

Variations to this recipe:
~Use a different type of jam, apricot, strawberry, raspberry, or for a spicy version use jalapeno jelly.
~Serve with apples or spread on pears.
~Top with walnuts before baking.
~For brie wrapped with pastry, after step 3, turn cheese over onto phyllo sheets, or refrigerated crescent roll dough. Invert,  and tuck ends under and bake until pastry is golden brown.
