Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready.

Take the brie out of its packaging. Got a wooden box? Put the unwrapped cheese back inside—it works as a cute dish! No box? Grab a small oven-safe dish instead.
03 -
Lightly score the top of the brie by making shallow crisscross cuts with a sharp knife. This lets the jam seep in while it bakes.
04 -
Spread the fig jelly across the scored top of the brie. If you're adding honey, herbs, or nuts, sprinkle them over now.
05 -
Put it in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Tap the cheese lightly—it's done when it feels soft and gooey inside.

Give the brie a quick 5-minute rest (molten cheese can be tricky!), then serve with fruit, bread, or crackers of your choice.
