Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 wheel (about 8 oz) low-fat brie cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 pack whole-wheat crackers or baguette slices
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the wheel of low-fat brie on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Using a small sharp knife, score the top of the brie in a crisscross pattern. This will allow the honey and pecans to seep into the cheese more effectively.
Toast the pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are fragrant and slightly golden. Be sure to watch them carefully to prevent burning. Set aside to cool slightly.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the top of the brie, allowing it to flow into the cuts.
Bake the brie in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese starts to ooze but not completely melt.
Remove the brie from the oven and place it on a serving platter.
Top the warm brie with the toasted pecans, making sure they cover the entire top surface.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of honey over the pecans and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
Serve immediately with whole-wheat crackers or baguette slices. Enjoy this delightful treat!
