I’ll never say no to a dish of melty dish and breadsticks. This Baked Brie Dip with Delicata Squash is similar to this recipe but it’s more savory with the addition of caramelized onions and tender squash. This Acorn Squash Pasilla Chile Queso Fundido and Summer Squash Queso Fundido are just as incredible and perfect for game days or the holidays!

Tips and Tricks

  • Score the top of the Brie in a crisscross pattern before baking; it makes for a lovely presentation and easier dipping.
  • Let the Brie sit for a few minutes after baking; it’ll be easier to spread (and won’t scald anyone).
  • This appetizer isn’t overly sweet. If you want to amp it up, toss the figs in a teaspoon of brown sugar or drizzle a bit of honey over the Brie after it’s baked for an extra kiss of sweetness.
  • For an added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts on top just before serving.
  • Don’t shy away from fig jam if fresh figs aren’t available.

Recipe FAQs

Can I bake the Brie with the rind on?

You bet! The rind is totally edible and helps keep the cheese from turning into a gooey runaway.

What kind of honey works best with Brie and figs?

A floral honey like orange blossom sings with Brie and figs, but honestly, any honey you love will be divine.

Is it possible to over bake Brie?

Yep, it can happen. Keep an eye on it; you want it melty, not oil-spilled-over-the-sides melty.

Can this dish be prepped ahead of time?

For sure! Assemble it all, pop it in the fridge, and then bake when you’re ready to wow your guests.

Any tips for serving?

A mix of crackers and sliced baguette lets everyone choose their own adventure. And a little fresh thyme wouldn’t hurt.
