Baked Brie with Pecans and Honey

Ingredients

1 wheel or wedge of brie (10 – 12 ounces)
2 tblsp. packed brown sugar
1/4 cup pecan halves
2 tblsp. honey
French bread, sliced, as needed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F, with rack in center position.

With a small knife, remove the rind from the cheese. It is all right if some of the rind stays on, but most of it needs to be cut away, because it will not melt.

Place cheese in a small oven safe ceramic or glass dish and bake until cheese is melted, approximately 10 – 15 minutes. Stir cheese periodically with a fork to make sure there are no lumps. Remove from oven.

Spread the brown sugar evenly over the surface of the melted cheese. Then sprinkle pecans on top and drizzle the honey over the nuts.

Place back in the oven on a low broil.

Only leave in the oven long enough to melt the sugar mixture on top, approximately 3 – 5 minutes. Watch carefully as to not burn the pecans.

Serve warm with slices of French bread.
