Featuring Milton’s Olive Oil and Sea Salt Gourmet Crackers, this dish harmonizes creamy Brie, sweet figs, and crunchy spiced nuts, all drizzled with luscious honey. Prepare to impress your guests with this delightful and easy-to-make appetizer that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 wheel of fresh Brie cheese
• 2 Tbsp honey
• ¼ cup spiced nuts
• 6 fresh figs (cut in half or quartered)
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
• 1 box of Milton’s Gourmet Olive Oil and Sea Salt Crackers

Recipe Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is ideal for gently melting the Brie without overheating it.
2. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the wheel of Brie in the dish.
3. Bake the Brie: Bake the Brie for about 12 minutes or until it becomes gooey and melted. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't overcook.
4. Prepare Serving Board: While the Brie is baking, prepare your serving board by arranging Milton’s Gourmet Olive Oil and Sea Salt Crackers around the edge. This not only makes for a beautiful presentation but also makes it easy for guests to dig in.
5. Top the Brie: Using an oven mitt, carefully remove the Brie from the oven and place it on the serving board. While it is still hot, top it with the sliced figs and spiced nuts. The warmth of the Brie will slightly soften the figs and nuts, enhancing their flavors.
6. Add Honey and Rosemary: Drizzle the honey generously over the top of the Brie and figs, adding a sweet and glossy finish. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs to add a touch of color and a hint of aromatic flavor.
7. Serve Immediately: Serve the baked Brie immediately while it's warm and gooey. Encourage your guests to scoop up the melted Brie, figs, and nuts with the Olive Oil and Sea Salt Crackers for the perfect bite.
