Warm Brie with Strawberries, Figs and Almonds
Warm and gooey, baked brie is always a winning addition to any cheese platter!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) water
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) raspberry vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey
- ½ cup (75 g) strawberries, halved or quartered
- 1 small wheel Brie cheese, at room temperature
- 1 fresh fig, quartered
- 2 tbsp roasted almonds, chopped
- Baguette or croutons, for serving
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a small pot, bring the water, vinegar and honey to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the strawberries, stirring gently with a spoon to coat in the vinegar mixture. Let sit for 5 minutes. In a sieve set over a bowl, strain the strawberries. Return the vinegar mixture to the pot.
- Place the cheese at the centre of a 6 ½-inch (16.5 cm) casserole dish or ramekin. Garnish with the strained strawberries. Add the fig and almonds.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is soft. Keep warm.
- Over medium heat, bring the vinegar mixture to a boil. Let reduce until thick and syrupy, about 1 minute. You should get about 2 tsp (10 ml) of syrup. Pour over the hot brie. Season with pepper. Serve immediately with slices of baguette or croutons.
