Top tips for the best result
- No cute little cast iron skillet? A shallow (so you can easily dip without burning your fingers) ramekin or baking dish similar in diameter will work just as well. My little skillet is 12cm/41/2" in diameter at the base.
- If you would like to make the top rind easier to dig into, take a small sharp knife and score a crisscross pattern into the rind on top.
Substitutions
- substitute camembert cheese for the brie, similar in taste but a little less creamy
- use pecan nuts in place of the walnuts
- try red currant or cranberry jam instead of fig jam
- use fresh thyme leaves instead of fresh rosemary
Reheating
This baked brie recipe will stay scoopable for around 15 minutes, but you can easily reheat it in the microwave if you need to, you just need to plan ahead.
If you are going to bake the brie in a small cast iron skillet like me (not microwave-safe), line the skillet with baking/parchment paper so that you can lift it out and transfer it to a suitable container for reheating.
Serving suggestions
- garnish with sprigs of rosemary
- serve with sliced fresh figs or sliced pear

Notes

- Optional reheating: If your skillet/ramekin isn't microwave-safe, you can line it with baking/parchment paper so that you can lift the cheese out and transfer it to a microwave-safe container for reheating.
