A stunning centrepiece for festive gatherings, this baked triple cream brie brings together rich, velvety cheese with the sweetness of figs, zesty orange and a hint of honey.

Ingredients: 

  • 200g Shale Point Triple Cream Brie
  • ¼ cup fig jam
  • ¼ cup fresh figs, thinly sliced
  • 75g pistachios, roughly chopped
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • Shale Point Artisan Crackers, to serve

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C). Place the brie in a small ovenproof dish or skillet, and set it on a baking tray to catch any drips.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the fig jam, sliced figs, chopped pistachios, and orange zest until well combined.
  3. Spoon the mixture evenly over the top of the brie, then sprinkle with a little cracked black pepper.
  4. Bake for 15–17 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and gooey in the centre.
  5. Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey, then scatter over the fresh thyme.
  6. Serve immediately with Shale Point Artisan crackers.

The Perfect Pour for this Plate:

Pair this decadent baked brie with a sparkling rosé – the fruity notes beautifully complement the figs and orange while balancing the creamy richness of the cheese.
