Ingredients

• 1 small (about 8 ounces) Brie cheese wheel
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 4 slices Bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
• 0.25 cup Macadamia nuts, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 sheet Phyllo dough or puff pastry sheets (optional, for a wrapped version)
• 1 batch Crackers or baguette slices (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the Brie cheese wheel on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or in a small oven-safe dish.

Step 3

In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the pineapple chunks and brown sugar. Stir and cook until the pineapple becomes caramelized and slightly sticky, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the caramelized pineapple from heat and stir in the crumbled bacon and chopped macadamia nuts.

Step 5

Spoon the pineapple-bacon-nut mixture over the Brie, spreading it evenly across the top.

Step 6

Optional: If you’re using phyllo dough or puff pastry, wrap the dough around the Brie and toppings, sealing the edges tightly. Brush with a little melted butter or egg wash for a golden crust.

Step 7

Bake the Brie for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is warm and gooey. If using puff pastry, bake until the pastry turns golden brown, about 18-20 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Serve warm with crackers or sliced baguette. Enjoy the tropical, cheesy goodness!
