Baked Brie with Figs, Pistachios & Walnuts

Adapted from The Mediterranean Dish

I’ve always dreamed of making a fancy baked brie piled high with lots of sweet fruity jam, fruits and nuts. Really, I’m not sure what was holding me back other than I needed an occasion to take it to … you don’t really want to bake up a big ol’ round of brie for yourself at home.

But I found an event that was just perfect for this little touch of something special … one of my Wednesday night yoga sisters (Jan) got a new job. She is moving away from us, but not TOO far (only an hour or so), so she will still be able to join us for yoga sometimes. We were all teary eyed when we heard the news, but she assured us that this is not “goodbye” … this is “wishing Jan good luck with her new job.” We had to have a party, but it’s not a goodbye party, Jan insisted. So I made this for our “good luck with your new job” party …

There is special significance to this recipe. Jan was the one who introduced me to the world of fresh figs … she bought a bunch of fresh figs from Costco, and had some left and didn’t know what she would do with them, so she gave them to me. I treasured every one of those precious fresh figs from Jan, and was so jealous of her that she had such easy access to these treasures! I finally broke down and got my OWN membership to Costco, so I can buy figs all by myself, and so I did. But I still remember that first taste of a fresh fig thanks to the kindness and thoughtfulness of my sweet friend Jan. We’ve shared so much with Jan … both laughter and tears, lots of hugs, good conversation, and yoga.

And when I brought this lovely melty brie to Jan’s “new job” party, she remembered and smiled. Fresh figs will forever remind me of my awesome librarian friend. The best part is it’s SUPER simple to make … and your guests will love it.
