Baked Brie with Fig Jam, Pecans, and Rosemary
Fig jam is so addictive, so consider this your warning. You will want to add it to everything on the snack board and everything else you’ll be eating over the next few days!
The pecans add a nice crunch to the base, and the added rosemary is one of those scents I love having around. I like to think of this as a fancy appetizer, and it’s a simple starter that looks way more complicated than it is.

What does Brie cheese taste like?
Brie cheese has a variety of flavors and textures. When you take a bite, you’ll first notice its creamy, buttery texture, which almost melts in your mouth.
The taste starts mild and fruity, with a hint of earthiness from the rind. As you savor it, the flavor evolves, revealing subtle notes of mushrooms and a slight nuttiness that adds depth.
The rind itself offers a contrasting tanginess and a bit of bitterness, which perfectly balances the rich, creamy interior.
Brie is a versatile cheese that pairs wonderfully with fruits, nuts, and various wines, making it a beloved choice for cheese lovers worldwide.

Do I need to remove the rind off the Brie cheese?
The short answer is no; you do not need to remove the rind of Brie cheese. The rind is completely edible and integral to the cheese’s flavor and texture.
The rind forms naturally during the cheese’s aging process, adding a subtle, earthy taste that complements the creamy interior. If you’re hesitant about the slightly firmer texture of the rind, consider trying a small piece along with the gooey center to experience the full range of flavors Brie has to offer.
Whether you eat the rind depends on preference, but many cheese enthusiasts agree that it enhances the overall Brie experience.
