🧡 Pro Tips and Variations
✔️Try different jams: Raspberry, strawberry, or cranberry jam all work great if you want a fruitier flavor.
✔️Add nuts: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking for a little crunch.
✔️Spice it up: Mix a pinch of chili flakes or hot honey into the jam for extra heat.
✔️Make it ahead: You can assemble the brie with jam a few hours before your party and bake it just before serving.
🍞 Serving Suggestions
1. Serve with warm baguette slices, crackers, or apple wedges for dipping.
2. Add it to your Halloween cheese board along with Pumpkin Goat Cheese Balls, Bacon Cheese Fries, and other spooky snacks.
3. Drizzle a little extra jam around the platter to enhance the “bloody” look.
🧊 Storing Tips
If you have leftovers (though that rarely happens at my house), wrap the baked brie tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F for 8–10 minutes until warm again.
📝 Recipe Notes
- Keep an eye on the brie during baking—soft and gooey is perfect, melted all over the pan is not.
- Red pepper jam gives that spooky Halloween color—avoid using jelly that’s too dark or it won’t stand out.
- Serve immediately for the best cheese texture.
