  1. Puree all ingredients until smooth.

For the Baked Brie:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Slice the round of brie in half crosswise and place the rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Put 2 tablespoons of tapenade (more or less to taste) on the bottom half brie round and top it with the other half round of brie.

  4. Place another 2 tablespoons of tapenade on top and bake the brie for 8-12 mins depending on how melted you want your brie to be. Serve with crackers.

Recipe Notes

  • I like my baked brie super melty. It remains liquid and warm for a while after serving but as you can see it also loses that perfect round shape.  If you wish to keep that perfect round shape, bake the brie for 3-4 mins less and serve it right away so it's still warm.
  • No time for making Fig Olive Tapenade?  Use just jam and nuts if you're rushed. Pestos, smoked salmon, herbs, cranberries, sauteed veggies...Anything really! But make sure to give it a nice drizzle of something sweet like jam or honey to round off the flavors!
