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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Unwrap the Brie and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 4

Add the chopped pecans to the melted butter and toast them for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the brandy, honey, and cinnamon. Simmer the mixture for 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Spoon the brandy-nut mixture over the top of the Brie wheel, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is softened and gooey but still holds its shape.

Step 8

Carefully remove the Brie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the baked Brie to a serving platter if desired, and garnish with fresh rosemary for a touch of color.

Step 10

Serve warm with slices of baguette or crackers for dipping and enjoy.
