Baked Brie with Cherries

By 104 Comments

Hi Everyone,

How are you on this lovely Tuesday?  I’m just happy that it’s finally cooling off outside, which means I can bake again!  Woohoo!!  Speaking of baking I have a treat for you!!

I made a fabulous baked Brie and topped it with my Cherry Quick Jam.  I got inspired to make this recipe from daelia’s Biscuits for Cheese.  They were kind enough to ask me if I wanted to try out their biscuits, and if you are a frequent reader of Peanut Butter and Peppers, you know I love crackers, crisps and biscuits!  There was no way I could turn down the opportunity to try their biscuits, especially ones that contain nuts and are all natural.


Since their biscuits are unique in flavors, such as Almond Raisin, Hazelnut Fig and Pumpkin Seed, I needed to come up with a cheese that would complement the flavor of the crackers and I automatically thought of baked brie with cherries.  This to me was a perfect match!  It’s pleasing to the eye and to the palate!!

One thing that is nice about the Brie Cheese, is that the lite version is only 70 calories an ounce.  So you can have a little and it’s guilt-free.  Also this Baked Brie is so simple to make, looks elegant and is a great way to use seasonal fruit such as cherries!  However you can use any kind of fruit jam you like.  I have had baked brie with raspberry jam and that tastes wonderful too, but I really like the cherries the best!

For baking the cheese, I made a little shallow bowl out of aluminium foil and placed the cheese in it, topped it with the Cherry Jam and baked it for 15 minutes.  I’ll be honest, I probably could have baked it a pinch longer to make it more bubbly, but I was hungry and was too excited to wait for it, so I took it out a few minutes sooner than I planned, not to mention it was pretty hot out and I couldn’t wait to turn the oven off.  I’m making a lot of excuses here, aren’t I?

I have to say I really love the crackers!  I like how crispy they are, there full of nuts and high in fiber.  My favorite biscuits are the Almond Raisin.  I ate a pack of them in one day!   I should have savored them, but they are so good!  One of my favorite combos in general is almonds and raisins.  I know these crackers are meant for cheese, but I’ll be honest with you, they taste awesome dipped in peanut butter and that’s how I ate most of them!!  It’s one of those treats that you tell yourself that you will just eat one, next thing you know you ate half a jar of peanut butter and all the crackers!  I can’t help it, I’m weak!!

    That cheese with the cherries looks so good! The crackers sound delicious! I probably can’t find them in my small town in Kansas but I will be in Dallas this weekend and I always hit up whole foods so I will for sure be on the lookout for the crackers! The almond and hazelnut will be the first in my basket! Thanks for sharing such fab food! You’re the best!!

    Favorite cheese? It’s so hard to pick one. We’re so proud of cheese here in Wisconsin it almost feels cruel to single one out. I love fresh mozz sandwiches though so I think I’d have to go with Mozzarella!

  50. Katie says

    Oh yum! My favorite type of cheese is definitely goat cheese! On crackers, in salads, on bread…I’m craving some right now!

  59. Carol says

    One more comment. I make a salad with black beans, raisins, cottage cheese (yum), diced apples and top it all off with salsa.

    This is so good, filling and healthy.

    i’ve never had brie, but those pictures are gorgeous.
    my fav cheese is feta, but i’ve recently started my search to make a cruelty-free vegan feta.
    those almond raisin crackers sound yummy! i’ll have to add that to my list for my whole foods trip coming up … i’m so excited, and my list keeps getting longer!

    My favorite kind of cheese without a doubt is trader Joe’s Asiago rosemary cheese. Tum!

    Picking one cheese to call my favorite is beyond difficult. But I’ll do it – for you. And the chance to win some awesome crackers! 🙂 I’m going to say at this current moment truffled chevre is my fave!

    What kind of cheese don’t I love? Sharp cheddar will always be a favorite, but so are feta, chèvre, aged gouda, blue, habanero jack, and so many more!
