Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small (8 oz) wheel of brie cheese
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup (chopped) pecans
- 0.25 cup dried cranberries
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional)
- 1 package or loaf crackers or baguette slices (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the wheel of brie on an oven-safe dish or a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, brown sugar, and butter. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans and dried cranberries.
Pour the glaze over the top of the brie, allowing it to drip over the sides slightly.
If desired, garnish the top with a sprig of fresh rosemary for a pop of color and flavor.
Bake the brie in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and slightly melted (but not completely oozing).
Carefully remove the brie from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette on the side for dipping.
