Common Questions
You can always buy a torch on Amazon. But if you don’t have time or want to, that is totally okay. Just put them on a baking sheet under the broiler and watch it carefully to make sure the figs and brie appetizer doesn’t burn.
Yes you certainly can. You can assemble it a day ahead, and then cover and refrigerate. What to brûlée until ready to serve.
If you can’t find fresh figs, you can try dates of even dried figs instead. It obviously won’t taste exactly the same but it will still be good.
