Instructions 👩‍🍳

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2️⃣ Prepare the Brie:

Place the brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small ovenproof dish.

Optional: Gently score the top of the brie with a knife in a crosshatch pattern to let the toppings seep in better.

3️⃣ Top the Brie:

Layer fig slices and chopped walnuts on top of the brie.

Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with a few thyme leaves, if using.

4️⃣ Bake the Brie:

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the brie is soft and gooey but not completely melted.

5️⃣ Add Final Touches:

Carefully transfer the brie to a serving plate.

Arrange pear slices around the brie for dipping or layering.

Drizzle with a little more honey, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and garnish with additional thyme leaves.

6️⃣ Serve:

Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette. Encourage guests to scoop up the cheese along with its luscious toppings.
