Who this list is for
This list is made for anyone hosting a small gathering and looking to serve a warm, crowd-pleasing appetizer. If you want an easy baked brie with fig jam recipe scaled for eight people, with just enough accompaniments for a cheese board (but not a full charcuterie spread), this is for you.

How to use this list
Start by checking your kitchen for the main ingredients: a 16-ounce brie cheese wheel, fig jam, and pecan halves. Lay out the brie on a small oven-safe dish. Spread 1/2 cup of fig jam over the top, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup pecan halves and 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over everything before baking. While the brie bakes, slice two apples and arrange them with two boxes of crackers on your serving board. Use this list to shop for items you don’t already have, and prep in the order listed for smooth assembly.
Common mistakes
People often forget to buy enough crackers or skip the fresh thyme, which adds needed flavor. Don’t substitute a smaller brie wheel—16 ounces ensures enough for eight. Avoid overloading the board with extra meats or cheeses; this list is for a focused appetizer, not a charcuterie spread. Skipping the honey or using a different jam changes the flavor profile.
What is on this list
You’ll need brie cheese wheel (16 ounces), fig jam (1/2 cup), pecan halves (1/2 cup), fresh thyme (2 teaspoons), honey (1 tablespoon), crackers (two boxes), and two apples. As you shop, cross off what you already have at home. Stick to these items for the intended flavor and serving size.
Before you go
Double-check your pantry for leftover fig jam or pecans before heading to the store. Slice apples just before serving to keep them fresh. Let the brie cool for a few minutes after baking so it holds its shape on the board. Clean up by wrapping any leftovers tightly and refrigerating. This keeps things simple and stress-free for your gathering.
