Lunch: Baked Brie with Pecans

Toasted pecans and maple syrup complement the creamy Brie in this hors d'oeuvre. For the best texture, let the cheese cool before topping it with the syrup mixture.

Ingredients

1 wheel Brie or Camembert
1/2 c. pecan pieces
3 tbsp. light-brown sugar
3 tbsp. pure maple syrup
Crackers or sliced baguette

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cheese on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate; cool about 20 minutes.
While cheese cools, place nuts on a clean baking sheet; bake until toasted and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle nuts over cheese.
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and maple syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat; simmer until foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle warm sauce over slightly cooled cheese and nuts; serve with crackers or baguette. Looking for party-ready recipes? Try our top guacamole recipes, birthday cakes, or punch recipes.
