This Brie with Fig Jam, Almonds and Berries is a great last-minute appetizer. You get the perfect sweetness, nutty, cheesy, and gooey goodness. 10 minutes is all it takes. It’s nothing short of impressive!
Appetizers or starters or whatever you call them, are such an important part of any gathering. With Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner, this will be an impressive appetizer to bring to any party. Starters provide the “welcome” and set the stage for what comes next. Plus it’s definitely a conversation starter.
I found that appetizers, have a way of bringing people together at the kitchen counter. Don’t they? As a hostess, I don’t mind that. I love having everyone meet up around my kitchen island while I finish my work. I love to hear people catching up on life while they dig into this brie with fig jam, almond and berries.
My brie with fig jam, almonds and berries would be a gorgeous centerpiece to any appetizer spread. Also, it involves minimal effort, but its packed with outstanding flavors. You can also use other berries, a combination of raspberry and walnuts would be delicious. Or if you can’t have almonds, sub them out with any other toasted nuts.
Make sure to sign up for bringing an appetizer this year to share this beauty with your friends and family. You will look like a pro without much effort. And your friends and family will thank you.

I made this BRIE WITH FIG JAM, ALMONDS & BERRIES as part of my Thanksgiving charcuterie and let me just say.. it was the first to disappear! SO delicious. Also the presentation is so beautiful! 5 STARS!
Lena. This is such a simple, yet so beautiful way of serving Brie – I’ve used this recipe many, many times now on my own charcuterie boards – and it ALWAYS provides that extra wow factor & has people gasp in awe… it’s truly beautiful- and I love that it only takes a few minutes to do. I often omit nuts – still turns out well. Thanks for sharing this creative idea <3
I made this amazing Brie recipe for Thanksgiving. It was so easy and was a total hit at our party. Everyone loved it and it was all gone by the end of the evening. I plan on making it for Christmas as well!
