Chili Fig Brie Charcuterie Board
Enjoy this perfect appetizer: Chili Fig Brie Charcuterie Board. Delicious for any season, add nuts, salami, fresh fruit, and your favorite crackers!
Here’s an brie charcuterie appetizer that your friends and family will be talking about for a long time. When I was in our local Kroger’s recently, I asked the man behind the deli counter his favorite way to serve Brie.

He grabbed a jar of this Divine Chili Fig Spread [AFFILIATE LINK] and said … handing it to me … THIS!
So naturally we served a Brie Cheese with Chili Fig Spread Charcuterie Board! You can get more information on my boards, by checking out The Big Board page!
Friends, today I’m sharing the best easy-baked Brie appetizer!
If it were up to me, Brie cheese would be its own food group :) It’s that good, and there are so many ways to enhance the flavor. I think there are very few foods it can’t improve, especially when it’s topped with sweet or savory ingredients.
More brie recipes:
You may love sweet, like this Baked Lemon Pistachio Brie or try this Brie, Apple and Cranberry Grilled Cheese with any leftover cheese!
Or savory, like today’s savory appetizer. Well, I guess it’s more than an appetizer. These days, when we are only having a few people over at a time, a board like this could be a meal.
A delicious meal, for sure!
Ingredients for this board:
- Brie cheese
- Divina Chili Fig Spread
- Moracona almonds with rosemary
- Salami
- 2 kinds crackers
- Fresh apricots
- Cherries
- Fresh basil
What tastes good with Brie cheese?
The most traditional pairing with Brie cheese is a slightly acidic fruit, like apples, pears, and grapes. We also love dried fruit with Brie. Nuts and honey are a great addition. And jellies or jams are a great spread on Brie.
What crackers go with Brie?
Here are our favorite crackers:
- Lesley Stowe
- Italian Crostini Crackers with Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper
- Ritz Crackers
- Most crackers from Trader Joe’s
How to make a brie board
- Preheat the oven. Place brie round on an ovenproof serving dish.
- Slice the top of the brie round off, cutting inward to make a bowl. Remove the “lid.”
- Fill the bowl with the chili fig spread. Place the lid on top, pushing down. (It’s okay if a little bit falls to the side).
- Bake until the cheese inside the rind is melted and bubbly.
- Remove to a plate and place in the center of a large board.
- Fill in open areas with crackers, salami slices, crackers, fresh apricots and cherries.
- Garnish with fresh basil.
What jam goes with Brie?
Similar to goat cheese, the mild flavor of Brie cheese pairs well with nearly any sweet or savory jam.
Our new favorite? This Chili Fig Spread (which is sweet and spicy!)
But when in doubt, go with red fruit jams: Strawberry, cherry, or branch out with lemon cured or marmalade!
ENJOY!
