Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce wheel wheel of Brie cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 package (for serving) crackers or sliced baguette
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the Brie on an oven-safe serving dish or small baking dish. If desired, trim the top rind for easier dipping.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the brown sugar, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble slightly, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the chopped pecans and ground cinnamon, stirring to coat the nuts evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Pour the sugar and nut glaze evenly over the top of the Brie.
Bake the glazed Brie in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is warm and soft but not completely melted.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette for dipping into the melted cheese and nutty glaze.
