Just about everyone loves a dab of baked Brie. Now, cover it with a rum soaked fig cranberry sauce? I hope you bought two.
Today’s post is really important so, run to the market – grab the few things you forgot and one extra round of brie, and get back here asap!
This baked brie is my ‘official’ contribution to #CaptainsTable recipe for Thanksgiving. A simple but delicious rum soaked slow cooked cranberry sauce with figs over a warm brie served as a beautiful morsel before the feast. Or if you are entertaining this season, this appetizer is a perfect addition to any holiday spread. This recipe couldn’t be simpler and it looks and tastes like it was hand made by Iron Chef Batali himself. (I’m not sure who the Iron Chef of cheese would be but he seems like a good fit).
What’s #CaptainsTable? It’s a little giving back Captain Morgan himself (you know, like Santa, but with booze) is doing. For every tweet we get using hashtag #CaptainsTable, Captain Morgan is going to donate $1 to WhyHunger, a charity help end hunger . All the recipes submitted by our fun team of bloggers will be judged by Top Chef Hugh Acheson. There are several of us participating – so go check out the hashtag on social media and retweet so we can earn a great pirate style bounty for charity this season!

Oh my gosh, I want to hug you for coming up with this appetizer. It looks absolutely amazing.
Holy Moly!! This is stunning and I am sure absolutely freaking delicious. What a great cause too!!
I am afraid to go to the grocery today. In combination with the usual holiday last minute shoppers, there’s the people freaking out because it’s actually cold here and they keep issuing freeze warnings. Gotta stock up on those eggs milk and bread in order to survive the whole 12 hours that the snow/ice ever stays on the ground here.
Bakes brie is my favorite. I love this topping combination. I would totally have this for dinner.
I could eat this every freaking day! Yum!
GORGEOUS! I’ve got a brie in my fridge, waiting to be baked….
Oh my god this looks so good. Baked bries are some of my favorite things to serve and eat during the holidays. When I catered I made a lot of them, but always with the puff pastry or phyllo dough. This looks so much easier, but equally as delicious. Can’t wait to do this! Thanks, and gorgeous photos!
Great minds think alike, girl! I also offered up a rum soaked baked brie to the captain. 🙂
Oh how delicious is this!! The cranberry sauce alone sounded amazing but atop baked brie?? I love this 🙂
