Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the top rind off the brie and place it in a brie baker or small oven-safe casserole dish.

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and black pepper. Stir in the chopped pecans.

Top the brie with the pecan topping. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the brie is melty and the pecan mixture is toasted and bubbly. Serve immediately * with a toasted sliced baguette or crackers. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cheese Temperature Matters 🧀
Always let the brie sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before baking to ensure even melting and optimal texture.
Toasting Pecans Technique 🥜
Lightly toast pecans in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to the recipe to enhance their nutty flavor and crunch.
Brown Sugar Caramelization Trick 🍯
Mix brown sugar with a tiny pinch of salt to help it caramelize more evenly and prevent burning during baking.
Baking Dish Selection 🥘
Use a shallow ceramic or cast-iron dish to ensure even heat distribution and create a beautiful presentation directly at the table.
Maple Syrup Drizzle Technique 💧
Warm the maple syrup slightly before drizzling to help it spread more evenly and create a glossy, appetizing finish.
