Impress your guests with this Baked Brie with Fig Jam. Creamy brie wrapped in simple store-bought crescent roll dough baked into a glorious, melty dip with a jammy center topped with fresh figs.

Using a mini cookie cutter, cut 10 leaf or flower shapes out of each end of the crescent dough and then trim the dough ends so that it is even. Place the wheel of brie cheese on the center of the dough and top with the fig jam. Chop the figs so you have about 10 small pieces. Press the fresh fig pieces into fig jam. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water.

Brush all over the dough with the egg wash. Place mini cut-outs around the opening of crescent dough and brush with egg wash as well. Remove the baked brie from the oven and let set for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving board or platter. Can I use puff pastry instead?

You could, but it would change the texture. Both crescent dough and puff pastry are laminated doughs. But crescent roll dough contains yeast that makes it bake up puffy and light. Which is the texture I was going for here!

Also keep in mind that store-bought puff pastry comes frozen and you’d need to incorporate thawing time. Can I use phyllo dough instead? The short answer is, I wouldn’t. It wouldn’t adhere as well to the brie and shatter when cut. It also doesn’t have all that butter in it, so the flavor wouldn’t be as rich.

Grilled Brie with Peaches and Pesto: Sweet, juicy peaches, nutty pesto and melty, mellow brie and turns them into an obsession-worthy appetizer. Grilled Brie with Strawberries: Creamy cheese, sweet strawberries, and tangy balsamic vinegar in a delicious appetizer that’s perfect for summer entertaining. On a cutting board, unroll the crescent dough and firmly press perforations to seal. Place the brie cheese on the center of the dough and top with the fig jam.

Pull crescent dough over the top of the brie wheel and bunch together, leaving a round opening on top with the figs and fig jam peeking through. Transfer the brie to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Maegan is the author of the best-selling Beautiful Boards and its next-level follow-up, Spectacular Spreads.
