Baked brie - very easy and super yummy

Baked brie is always an impressive appetizer. This one is very easy and absolutely scrumptious. It only takes about 5 minutes to assemble, and 20 minutes to cook.

Start by cutting the top rind off a small brie wheel (15-20 oz.). Using a spoon or a knife, cut a hole in the brie wheel, leaving about an inch on all sides and a half inch on the bottom. Set the removed cheese aside. Place the brie wheel in a baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup apricot jam, 1/2 cup honey, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar. Pour half the mixture into the hole in the brie wheel. Replace the brie you removed earlier over the top of the filling. Pour the rest of the filling on top of the brie and top with 1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans.

Cover with foil and bake at 350ยบ for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake a few more minutes to brown the pecans. Serve with bread and apple slices. SOOO good.

  1. Thinking of taking this to a potluck tomorrow. I'm undecided between this dish and the curried couscous salad. Maybe I'll just make both! :)
