Why You’ll Love This Recipe
When it comes to easy but elegant party appetizers that always impress, it doesn’t get much better than this Apricot Almond Baked Brie.
I always keep the ingredients for baked brie on hand, because you never know when unexpected company might arrive, or friends will invite you over at the last minute.
And since this baked brie only uses three ingredients–Brie cheese, jam and sliced almonds– it’s no problem at all to keep everything on hand.
I really can’t express how much I love a baked Brie, because it tastes amazing and it’s so incredibly easy to make.
Trust me, if you want people to think you’re fancy, just serve this baked Brie at your next party or get together. No one has to know how easy it is. Or that it only takes 15 minutes to make.
Although apricot and almond are my go-to flavors for baked Brie, the beauty of this recipes is that it can be adapted in so many different ways.
You can use almost any kind of jam (blackberry is another favorite of mine) and any kind of nuts. Besides almonds, I’ve used pecans and pistachios, and walnuts work well too.
Smoked or honey roasted nuts are also wonderful and add a whole new level of flavor. Just make sure to take a few minutes to toast your nuts–it’s really adds so much to the dish.
Warm from the oven, the cheese is melted and gooey and perfect served with crackers, apple slices or bread.
Although I make this Apricot Almond Baked Brie all year long, it’s an especially great recipe to have on hand during the busy holiday season. Enjoy!
