Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce wheel of Brie cheese
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 loaf/package fresh baguette or crackers
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Unwrap the Brie and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the chopped pecans to the melted butter and toast them for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant.
Stir in the brandy, honey, and cinnamon. Simmer the mixture for 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors, then remove from heat.
Spoon the brandy-nut mixture over the top of the Brie wheel, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is softened and gooey but still holds its shape.
Carefully remove the Brie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the baked Brie to a serving platter if desired, and garnish with fresh rosemary for a touch of color.
Serve warm with slices of baguette or crackers for dipping and enjoy.
