Baked brie with fig and walnuts
The fig season is officially inaugurated, and we will not be the ones who run out of ideas when it comes to enjoying them! At home we love them, especially my husband and my eldest son, and although at this time they enjoy them naturally, as an accompaniment to a good cheese it becomes a delicious dinner!
What I bring you today is a recipe for lovers of cheese and handy dinners -although it is true that it will also make you look great if you prepare it as an appetizer at any meal, whether in summer, autumn or you can even prepare it as an appetizer. at Christmas (you can also prepare them with dried figs the rest of the year).
The base is formed with brie cheese, covered with figs, toasted walnuts and a light touch of walnut oil . You can prepare it in two ways, in an iron skillet or, the other way, in a ceramic cheese dish suitable for the oven.
When serving it, you can accompany it with crispy toast or toasted bread. You will really enjoy this delicacy!

Se ve precioso. Mi pregunta es como se sirve en la mesa con el cuenco especial de Brie cuando se saca del horno? O sacando el queso y presentandolo en el plato de seevir que hay a juego. Es que creo que en el cuenco seria dificil de servirte, bueno yo lo creo asi.😃😃
