2 steps
Method
1
Score the top rind in a crosshatch; bake at 180°C in a small dish until the center gives like a waterbed, 12–15 minutes.
13 min — timer available in cooking mode
2
Figs, honey, walnuts, and thyme over the top. Serve immediately with toasts — molten brie waits about 10 minutes before re-setting.
Why this works
The dish matters: bake it in what you'll serve in, because moving molten brie is a spectator sport.

Chef's notes
Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
