Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece baby Brie wheel (approximately 8 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 quarter cup pecans, chopped
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 box or loaf crackers or sliced baguette
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the baby Brie wheel into a small, oven-safe baking dish or onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Once the butter has melted, stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture becomes smooth and begins to bubble.
Add the chopped pecans and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Mix until the pecans are fully coated in the praline sauce. Remove from heat.
Spoon the praline mixture over the top of the Brie wheel, ensuring even coverage.
Bake the Brie in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese begins to soften and ooze but does not collapse entirely.
Remove the Brie from the oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette on the side. Enjoy!
