Are you an 11th-hour party hostess? If so, I have the best express appetizer for you today! Get your oven ready for this French baked brie recipe with figs, walnuts and pistachios.

Appetizers, starters, hors d’oeuvres, or whatever you want to call them, are such an important part of any gathering. They provide the “welcome” and set the stage for what comes next. I found that appetizers, particularly dips, have a way of bringing people together at the kitchen counter. Don’t they? As a hostess, I don’t mind that. I love having everyone meet up around my kitchen island while I finish my work. I love to hear people catch up on life while they dig into the hummus or a warm baked brie like we have here today.

This baked brie with jam, figs, walnuts and pistachios is a great last-minute dip or appetizer. 15 minutes is all it takes. And it is nothing short of impressive! It is the perfect sweet, nutty, cheesy, and super gooey goodness. A party show-stopper!
