Baked Brie with Peach Jam
This is our go-to easy appetizer recipe because who doesn’t have peach jam and sliced almonds stocked in the pantry? Not only is Brie one of our favorite “go to” appetizer foods for last-minute guests, it’s also delicious on a charcuterie or cheese board.

The peach jam is pure sweetness and absolutely delectable on this baked Brie recipe! I love adding various fruits and even jams and jellies. You could certainly swap the peach jam for your favorite flavor. For this recipe, we swapped out this Marmalade Brie with Spicy Pecans recipe, with peach jam.
Why I love this recipe
- Brie is easy to make for company!
- I love to serve this appetizer with a special cracker, or even ginger snaps, for a sweeter taste! You may not think of it as a dessert, but it’s delish served with cookies!
- If you’re looking for a simple appetizer to bring to a party, potluck, or holiday meal, all you need is three simple ingredients.
- It’s also super easy instructions to prepare (less than five minutes), and then to bake (for ten minutes).
The most difficult aspect of this elegant recipe is waiting for it to cool! HA! Because everyone wants to dive into warm, gooey Brie.
We call this recipe our “anytime” Brie appetizer, because it’s literally delicious any time of year! But don’t forget about Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any occasion!
Gather these ingredients
- Brie cheese
- Peach preserves
- Sliced toasted almonds
- Crackers and ginger snaps cookies
How to make Baked Brie
- Prepare it ahead by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper (easy clean up), and getting the Brie ready for the oven.
- Preheat the oven. When the guests walk through the door, pop the Brie in the oven for ten minutes.
- After ten minutes, pull it out of the oven and prepare it on a large plate with crackers and cookies. And enjoy!It comes out of the oven bubbling and ready to dive into!
How do you serve Peach Baked Brie?
- Let sit for about five minutes before serving.
- We love to serve this Peach Pecan Baked Brie (and most other flavored brie recipes) with crostini, pita chips, bagel chips, crackers, etc. As mentioned above, it’s so tasty with ginger snaps and other sweet crackers or cookies.
- We also served it on this Winter Brie Charcuterie Board.
Tips and substitutions:
- Use any flavor of jam, jelly, or preserves.
- Add a dash of cinnamon and drizzle of honey!
- If you want a little “kick,” try a spicy honey.
- Swap honey for balsamic glaze – so good.
- You can bake a half a Brie wheel by wrapping it in aluminum foil.
- Swap out the toasted almonds for toasted pecans, walnuts, or even hazelnuts. They toast up perfectly in the oven and add a delicious crunch to the creamy baked Brie!
Do you take the rind off Brie before baking?
Brie cheese comes with a white rind on the outside. It looks like white mold, but it isn’t. Unwrap it, cut the cheese in half, and fill with your yummy sweet and spicy jam mixture.
The rind is edible so no need to remove! If you wish, you can carefully slice off the top of the rind with a sharp knife, or leave it as is and slice into it when ready to serve. Follow my recipe, Cranberry Pistachio Brie Appetizer.
ENJOY!

Sandy, those seed crackers look amazing! Do you mind sharing the ‘name’?
(I’m always looking for clever ways to more fiber into my family’s diet!😉🤫)
You are so right, Sandy, fruit & toasted nuts make the best brie toppings!
(I’ll add fresh herbs, too, for my savory tooth.🌿🦷)
I believe they were homemade from the grocery store – from Newport Avenue Market here in Bend. It was a few years ago. There are recipes out there to make your own crackers. They were delish! You could try “Effie’s” crackers (a variety of flavors) if you haven’t already. :)
