Port Soaked Fig & Pistachio Brie

Ingredients 

  • 1 large, 12 to 16 oz round brie
  • ½ cup chopped dried figs
  • ½ cup port
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup chopped pistachios

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place a saucepan over high heat and add chopped, figs, port and honey to the pan. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes then take off the heat and let rest.
  • Score the brie: Using a serrated knife, make parallel cuts across the top rind, spacing them about ½ inch apart, and cutting just through rind but not through the cheese. Then, turn the brie 90 degrees and score perpendicular to your initial set of cuts, keeping the same ½ inch spacing.
  • Place the scored brie in a small cast iron skillet or oven-safe serving dish.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is soft and just starting to ooze out.
  • Serve with crackers, bread and veggies. When serving, it's important to remember that the skillet/baking dish will be hot.
