Baked Brie with Walnut, Fig Balsamic, and Honey Drizzle

Baked Brie with Walnut, Fig Balsamic, and Honey Drizzle Recipe at The Little Shop of Olive Oils Gourmet in Franklin MA

There’s something utterly irresistible about a wheel of brie baked until it’s soft and oozing, warmed through and ready to share. At the heart of this version is a perfect drizzle: our own Walnut Oil layered with sweet, rich Fig Balsamic Vinegar, finished with honey and chopped walnuts for crunch and sweetness. It’s an appetizer that feels both simple and special—perfect for entertaining, a cozy dinner at home, or a little treat to elevate an evening.

Start by gently drizzling our walnut oil over the brie, then follow with fig balsamic for that deep fruity finish. The chopped walnuts add texture and the honey rounds everything with a warm sweetness. When the brie comes out of the oven—all melty and inviting—you’ll garnish it with fresh thyme and serve with crusty bread or crackers. The result: an elegant, flavor-packed bite that showcases how the right oil and vinegar make all the difference.

Baked Brie with Walnut, Fig Balsamic & Honey Drizzle

Ingredients

  • 1 wheel of brie cheese (approx. 8-10 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons Walnut Oil (or substitute Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil if desired)
  • 2 tablespoons Fig Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • Fresh thyme sprigs (for garnish)
  • Crackers or sliced crusty bread, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  2. Place the brie wheel on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.
  3. Drizzle the walnut oil over the top of the brie, followed by the fig balsamic vinegar.
  4. Scatter the chopped walnuts evenly over the top, then drizzle with the honey.
  5. Bake for about 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is soft and beginning to ooze (but not fully collapsed).
  6. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
  7. Serve immediately with crackers or sliced bread, and encourage guests to dip or spread while warm.
