Appetiser Jamco Fig Fruit Spread, Baked Brie & Pistachio Crunch

Creamy brie topped with a smooth, glossy layer of Jamco Fig Fruit Spread, finished with a delicate pistachio crunch.

Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

  • 1 whole wheel of brie (200–250g)
  • 3–4 tbsp Jamco Fig Fruit Spread (smooth only)
  • 2 tbsp shelled pistachios (lightly crushed)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey (optional, for shine)
  • Fresh thyme (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper


Method

1. Prepare the brie

  • Place the whole brie in a small oven-safe dish.
  • Lightly score the top round (just shallow cuts — don’t go deep).

2. Bake

  • Bake at 180°C (fan 160°C) for 10–12 minutes
  • The inside should be soft and melted, but still holding shape.

3. Prepare the fig glaze

  • Warm the Jamco Fig Fruit Spread until smooth and glossy.
  • Optional: mix with a touch of honey for a richer finish.

4. Assemble

  • Remove brie from oven
  • Spoon the fig fruit spread over the top — smooth, even layer
  • Sprinkle crushed pistachios over for texture

5. Finish

  • Drizzle olive oil lightly
  • Add thyme + black pepper for aroma and contrast
